Roger:
My payware program, FastLynx, discussed in one of my previous recent posts,
will also *create* directories and subdirectories during the transfer.
I used it in native DOS mode to transfer files from an MS-DOS 5.0 and
Windows 3.1 machine to a Windows 95 machine. Do you believe the DR-DOS
utility FileLink will work when transferring files between machines running
different DOS/Windows OSs? Do you think you might get the error message
"incorrect DOS version"?
All the best,
