LapLink
LapLink displays a split screen: on one side you see the files and directories on one computer and on the
other side the files and directories on the other computer. The split screen not only tells you what is
happening on both computers but also gives you access to both. Instead of moving from one computer to the
other, you simply move the highlight between the two sides or "windows." By moving the highlight within a
window you select the particular files or directories you want to copy, rename, erase, and so on. Then by
activating a command you perform the operation.
LapLink commands like Copy and Erase appear across the bottom of the screen and are available at the press
of a key. When a command has finished, you usually see the results on the screen immediately.
Whether you are working with one computer or two, LapLink simplifies many tasks: the organization of disks
into subdirectories, the copying of files from one disk to another and from one directory to another, and the
backing up of entire disks.
LapLink Device Driver
The LapLink device driver gives your computer access to the disk drives and printers connected to another
computer: it's as though those other disks and printers were actually a part of your TravelMate 2000, or vice
versa.
Though the device driver does give you access to another computer's disks and thus to its files-you are better
served if you use LAPLINK.EXE to transfer files between computers.
