Commander Link panel
Selecting Link from the Left or Right menu brings up a dialog
box. You need to select which mode to use, Master or Slave,
and which port to use, either serial or parallel.
Master vs Slave
The master computer is the one you want to work on, which is
usually the desk-top computer since it has a nicer display
and keyboard. The slave simply processes requests for the
master. You can copy files either to or from the slave, it
doesn't make a difference in which direction you copy files.
Hint: Put the master's link panel on side of your screen
that is next to the slave computer. For example, if
your slave computer is to the right of the master,
put the master's link panel on the right:
Master Slave
+---- C:\ ---++- Link:C:\ -+ +--------------+
| || | | +-D:\-+|
| || | | ###### ||
| || | .---. | ######---+|
| || | |C> |
-------------|-------------| +------##------+
+------------++------------+ +------##------+
C>_ +--------------+
Notes:
. You can copy and move files to and from the slave,
rename files, delete files, create and delete
directories, and change file attributes. You cannot,
however, view a directory tree of the slave computer.
. If the link is active, you can type "Link:" in front
of file names for the source or destination of a copy,
rename/move, delete, or a make directory.
Cloning
This option lets you send Norton Commander over the serial
Link Cable to another computer that does not contain it so
that you can perform file tranfers between the two.
Once cloned you can run Commander on the other PC and setup
a Link as normal.
Note: You can only Clone over the Serial Cable.
