*** Serial File Copy ***

The Serial File Copy program SFC is designed to allow the transfer
of disk files ( including entire directories which may themselves
contain directories ) between any two IBM PC compatible computers
using standard RS232 serial ports. The SFC program is particularly
useful in copying files between IBM PC compatibles with 5.25"
disks and those with 3.5" disks such as the IBM PS/2 and the
various IBM PC compatible laptops. The computers must both be IBM
PC compatible ( this includes the TANDY 1000 ) with 256 KB or more
of RAM. SFC is also an easy way to backup a hard disk onto the
hard disk of another computer.

Both computers ( between which you want to transfer files ) must
have RS232 serial ports configured for use with a modem. COM1,
COM2, COM3 or COM4 may be used. Baud rate of 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 may be selected.
