I can confirm the presence of Interlnk in PC DOS 5.02 as well as MS-DOS 6.00 (and this is why I specifically mentioned those versions). I've done a lot of research on MS-DOS/PC DOS history. ;p Interlnk does have a way, as I mentioned, to copy itself over a serial cable. I suppose it probably relies on CTTY and DEBUG or something. -uso. --2115017584-1786889619-1561411852=:49048--
