No problem if you can find a copy of PCAnywhere/Carbon Copy/Freeware equivalent; Serial or parallel port connection would be trivial, NetBIOS no problem either; don't know about TCP/IP. mike -------Original Message Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 17:10:06 +0000 From: Jules Richardson <julesrichardsonuk at yahoo.co.uk> Subject: Re: C Compilers for (MS)DOS Ta, will take a look! Ultimately I'd like something that sat on the network and could be controlled remotely (and be able to say FTP or HTTP or NFS or SMB transfer data to a remote box holding disk images) - but that's a colossal amount of work to get going under DOS! Serial port control is a little easier though, and at least means the machine with the drives in doesn't need its own keyboard / display. Or I could just get a KVM, but that's no fun :-)
