I'm not so sure WINDOWS and DOS cannot share files. (Do you remember the
"Share" command on DOS?).

Although your approach could work, is'n practical in this case. The
themometer takes a reading every 15 seconds, so there will be *lots* of
files involved. There are also problems in synchronizing both PCs (which
file should I read next?, etc.)

Thanks anyway.
