- I will be moving large numbers of files from one machine, using FAT to an
- identical machine, using a mix of HPFS and FAT partitions. I would like
- suggestions on the best way to do this, while maintaining EAs and all the
- other
- weird bits that OS/2 uses (and sometimes loses) to run the WPS.
-
- I have about 200M of apps and data files. I expect to at least use LHarc to
- grab and package files and EAs, and one or more WPS/INI-backup tools to
- capture
- the INI and WPS directory structure. Then I could either do the
- floppy-shuffle,
- or boot both machines to DOS (machine1 has dual boot, machine2 has BootMan)
- and
- use a DOS thing I have called Paranet to move files across the parallel ports
- to a FAT partition. Finally (hopefully), I can unLHarc everything to its
- respective place.
-
- Now, essentially, will this work from a FAT to an HPFS partition? Can I unarc
- directly, or should I unarc to FAT, and then XCOPY to HPFS?
-
- Just trying to avoind the (b)leeding edge...
-
- Thanks to all in advance...
