Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] ZIP in DOS

Hmmm. Seems a bit long winded - I just 'mount' the relevant windows drive as
a folder on linux and 'copy' the files across (effectively, they act as
though they are on the linux box so I can edit them etc. and just save them
back as though they are linux files) and, on the windoze box, I just use
'Network Neighbourhood' to access the linux machines directly and 'drag and
drop' the files across.
