LapLink
The LapLink file transfer and device driver programs, products of Traveling Software Inc., are furnished
with your TravelMate 2000. LapLink makes it practical to use a computer without a floppy drive. LapLink
requires use of a special cable also furnished with your TravelMate 2000.
LapLink fills the need for a fast, convenient, error-free means of transferring files. Connected by the
furnished LapLink cable and running the LapLink program, two computers have complete access to each
other's disk drives-and to all the files on those drives, You can copy files the following ways:
‰
From one hard disk directly to another (without using floppies at all)
‰
From one floppy to another (eliminating the incompatibility between 5.25- and 3.5-inch
floppies)
‰
From a hard disk to floppies
LapLink File Transfer Utility
Though copying is its specialty, LapLink is more than a simple file-transfer program. By offering such
features as file Erase, Rename, and View, LapLink has proved itself a useful tool for managing files and
directories on a single computer.
Just as important as what it does is the way LapLink does it. Whether you are copying, erasing, renaming, or
viewing files, using LapLink is easier than using only MS-DOS commands. LapLink shows you the files and
directories you are working with and the commands that perform the various operations.
