- I bought Laplink IV specifically for this feature and it wasn't there!
- It was in Laplink III, but they took it out of version 4. I imagine this
- was so they could sell more copies of desklink. Unfortunately when I got
- desklink, I discovered it was totally incompatible with DRDos and not
- really compatible with DOS 5.0. So I insisted on a refund and gave up.
