Thanks for your reply, Christof.
In what MS-DOS versions and above do you find INTERLINK.EXE and
INTERSVR.EXE? My OS is Caldera DR-DOS, version 7.02. I do not have any
programs like these. Does anyone know if the aforementioned utilities
will work with DR-DOS? Does anyone know of some equivalent free utilities
available for download?
All the best,
