Go to http://www.ghostsoft.com. They have a product called GHOST, which works excellent for us for cloning Win95 machines. We tried the 30-day trial and it worked fabulous. Ghost can clone to the server and back, or through two LPT ports. It also works for Win95, OS/2, and Windows NT. It copied off our 110MB Win95 setup in 3.5 minutes on our network and brings it back at the same speed. Tom Kustner Note: The company that makes it happens to be in Milwaukee, where I am. But otherwise, there's no relationship. This is the best tool I know of for cloning PCs with OS's that have long filenames.
