Hi TJ and Brian, > There are two DOS programs, MS Interlink and Laplink, that could > self-copy from one DOS PC to another through the serial port. As far as I remember, they do not work well with FreeDOS. But as mentioned, FileMaven / FM3 has similar functionality. Both methods have the problem

Re: [Freedos-user] Any way to add files to freedos?

The situation is not looking good. Are you still able to copy or create files on the drive letter that you booted from? There are two DOS programs, MS Interlink and Laplink, that could self-copy from one DOS PC to another through the serial port. But here's the kicker: the target PC has to

Re: [Freedos-user] Any way to add files to freedos?

Hi Brian, FreeDOS is an operating system, so the question is probably not what you really want to ask. You booted FreeDOS from some type of drive, either real or virtual, and you want to know how you can copy files to that drive. Please give more information what drive you have booted from and wh
