Fastlynx is a remarkable little program, dating from the days when
PC utilities crammed loads of functionality into *really small* file
sizes, and didn't require complex "installations" to work properly.
Even when "Laplink" was the flavour of the month for this role, I
found Fastlynx quicker, more reliable for transfers, as well as loads
smaller, which is what counts in a utility like this.
I thought it had completely disappeared from the market, but then I
found:
