- As far as I know the author is only to be contacted via Fido or Network.ST.

- Better try MikeNet (Shareware - SWfee 25 US$, I think). With it you can
- directly link drives between both computers.
- Its DISadvantages are:
- No file locking (up to now, the author is working on it)
- Only 2 computers can be connected (the author will start working on this
- topic in some time coming)
-
- Advantages:
- Can be used to redirect drives of both systems (remote C: to local C:,
- local F: to local G: ...)
- Redirecting drives can be done via command line.
- Works in background...
-
- Until you pay, your setup cannot be saved though...
-
- I'll upload Mikenet to a.a in the next few days...

- bye,
