Special Requirements: Serial ports on both machines and a null modem cab
This utility uses the serial communication adapters (serial ports) in
your PCs to transfer files from one machine to another. Serial
transfer is much easier and faster than copying files from machine to
disk to machine again. XPORT will allow you to transfer files
between: a 5.25" disk drive on one machine and a 3.5" drive on
another; or directly from one hard drive to another (regardless of file
size); or between two drives that can't seem to read from each other's
disks (common between 360K and 1.2MB drives).
Many full-blown communication packages will do this job. But if you
just want a simple, inexpensive method of getting the files from one
system into another with a minimum of fuss and as conveniently as
possible, use XPORT.
Not sure about serial port parameters and how to set them? Forget it.
The transporter sets them up the way it needs them. More than one port
in your machine, but you're not sure which is COM1, COM2, COM3, and
COM4? Don't worry. The transporter automatically detects which port
you've got the cable plugged into.
XPORT also includes XCLONE. Because the XPORT program must be on both
computers to operate, you may need a way to get the XPORT program file
installed on another computer with incompatible disk drives. XCLONE is
a nifty little utility that copies XPORT to the other computer without
the use of the disk drives.
