Description:
1. I have 2 computers - both pentiums with different processor speeds. Can they be linked together so that I can use both sets of hard drives for programs? I want to be able to pick one or the other to use at a specific time. Can it be done? I have them in separate setups at the moment.
2. Any suggestions or recommendations for a program the recovers deleted files. I have Norton Utilities now and FirstAid 98. Are there any better?

Thanks for your help. Your idea to help is a novel and much appreciated one!!!

1.Yes it's possible, for doing this you can use Windows95's DirectCable connection (name can be different), or DOS 6.x's interlnk/intersvr however when you use interlnk/intersvr you won't be able to use your server computer (may be it can be possible by using some taskmanagers like Desqview) or you need to find some commercial networking programs like Novell Lite... then you can create your own network.

2. I think Norton Utilities and FirstAid 98 are the best choices, however sometimes it can be usefull to use DOS 4.X'S UNDELETE, Windows won't give you a chance to use this program easily, you need to write LOCK C: at the command prompt to bypass Windows' disk controls. I'm always using DOS 4.x UNDELETE and it's realy good.

With my best wishes,
