Does anyone know of a utility I can use to get files with long file names from one notebook to another in DOS via a parallel cable connection? I have just a few directories I need to backup on a friend's notebook with a W95 OS that is shot to hell, and won't boot, despite valiant efforts to replair it. We're backing up everything now to re-install the OS. I've ghosted all the data on a partitition he smartly created to save all his work to. But there are a group of files in his C:\Windows\Application Data folders that I'd like to backup while preserving the file names. I downloaded a great freware PC to PC file transfer utility called File Maven that I was able to download the ghost image file to my L70 with via a null modem cable. But FM can't move files to the L70 and preserve long file names. I downloaded the new PKware with pkzip.exe, but it can only compress and save long file names in a DOS window while in Windows. Unless I've missed something, I don't see any way to get Ghost to create an image of a group of selected files and folders. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
