Actually, I should say a couple things about LapLink since I have used it
once. It is easier to use than INTERSVR. The best thing about it is that
you don't have to add a silly line to your CONFIG.SYS file. You just run
the program on each system you want to transfer files between and they
automatically map to each other. As long as the programs are running on
each then you can tranfer files. However, you are limited to doing your
file transfers within the program itself. You can't map drives from a
command line like you can with INTERSVR (at least I don't think you can).

Two programs, each having their own merits. Choose the best one for your
particular application.
