Laplink

[Andrew James]

I'm looking for a simple dos based laplink programme to xfer data from windows xp to ancient pc running dos 5.0.

look for FileMaven.

I believe I posted a link for it elsewhere under this same/similar request.
you might want to search the past forum message for more info

here ya go

"File Maven is an advanced DOS freeware file manager with high speed PC-to-PC file transfers via serial or parallel cable. The user interface features a dual directory display with pull-down menus, mouse support, hot keys, 50-line video support, and a choice of 10 pre-defined color schemes.

Good to know if works with XP also.
I had not given it a test run on that OS yet.

This is a specific request for LapLink Version 3, also referrable to by the DOS code LL3.exe. I have tried other programs for transfers of files between two distinct systems and found, to my disappointment, that only LL3.exe works as I intend.

This request is for a shareware version?? Full versions are illegal, thats why you might need to try the latest trial from laplink, or use the freeware Maven DOS app, which is in this thread - if you had noticed the pinned topic, you could have searched, and found this thread.

Old programs such as Laplink for DOS are available for download from edited - abandonware is not legal

...

Versions 3 to 5 are listed on the "Software" page.
