Suggestions? There is a very well-known utility called pcopy by Patriquin for this purpose. You can get it from any well-stocked BBS or ftp site. The latest version at the moment is pcopy85c.arc. Our anonymous ftp site, chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland has pcopy in directory /pc/pd2. Another, much smaller (but also very good) utility is dc by Michael Mefford from PC Magazine. It is available just like pcopy. ...................................................................
