Hi-ho,

I need your help.....

I do a lot of file transfers on my PC (8088), and would like to do them
in the background. I have tried DoubleDos. This worked satisafactorily,
except that the transfer progress updates would constantly show up in the
middle of my other application's screen (and if using a text editor or
word processor, it would enter those number into my text).

Please suggest to me an 8088 utility for this (I know the obvious solution
is to get a '386, but I need an immediate solution.

I've looked around the net (including comp.sys.ibm.pc & .misc & .binaries
etc, but no luck yet...would simtel have a PD version???)


Thankyou.
