Check out the program "pcdsk" provided with the TOWER. It can supposedly do what you are asking. Not that it is not a supported piece of software. The reason that I say supposedly is that I don't personally use pcdsk so I cannot speak from experience. I generally use the TOWER sb and rb commands to transfer files with YModem batch mode. (Please, all of you who have other, possibly better choices for file transfer need not try to convert me. YModem works fine for me.) Good luck. -- * Tom Moore NCR Corporation PCD-6 (513) 445-1373 * * Consulting Analyst 1700 S. Patterson Blvd. VOICEplus 622-1373 * * Network Applications Dayton, OH 45479 Tom.Moore@Dayton.NCR.COM *
