Ah, doesn't ring any bells. I bet some of the programs would though, I 
used to love that section of the mag.

Hmm, if you still have a regular-sized parallel port on the PC you could 
   use something called ZeriLink (I think it's still downloadable). It's 
a tiny program, with a DOS app and a RISCOS app. You have to rewire a 
parallel lead too but it's pretty trivial. Then you set it copying and 
go and make a pot of tea. Or six.

Aww, I couldn't hope to compete with the likes of Jan Vibe and the other Jan 
whose surname I forget :-)

Oh, I just found this:

Sounds good, I was thinking of programming something similar myself, but 
then figured it would be faster to just copy using 1.44 MB floppies 90 or so 
times.

I've bookmarked the page for ZeriLink, will give it a shot some time. 
Cheers.

Interesting. I certainly remember most of those programs!
