Hmm.  I didn't know that it would work with a null modem cable.  I was
under the impression that it was ONLY for laplink cables.  But I could
be wrong.

Well, at least it's transferring something.  That's a start.

Try this for syntax:
use the destination dir on the client pc as the destination dir,
instead of specifying the port.  After looking at the source code, it
seems as if the port is hard-coded into the program.  But then again,
why would it work with a null modem cable if that was the case??  I'll
look further into this and try to port it to a 16-bit DOS program with
Turbo C in the meantime, as that would get rid of that startup error
in pure DOS.
