Hello Gregory!
Replying to a message from Gregory Urban to All:
 GU> Greetings Folks,

Before I got Warp Connect, I used MS InterLink and a serial cable to move 
files between my portable and my stationary PCs. This program also won't work 
in an ordinary DOS box. It will however work in a bootable image. Now, I 
don't know if this will work for LapLink but it might. For more information, 
do as follows:
    Open Settings for a DOS program (any DOS program), c
    Click on Session, 
    Click on DOS Settings
    Select Other DOS Settings and press OK
    Select DOS_STARTUP_DRIVE and press Help or F1
Here you will find a description on how to boot a specific DOS version under 
OS/2. I'd advise you to look at the topic "Starting DOS from an image file", 
found at the bottom of the help page. Here is describe how to create a file 
containing a bootable DOS image i.e. you don't need to boot from a diskette.
 Ebbe!
