So, you're asking how to access the Zoomer's volume C: from the PC GEOS
desktop? Like all great Zoomer mysteries, the answer is hidden in your Z's
GEOS.INI. This is the [link] section from my Z's GEOS.INI that allows the
PCMCIA card (C: volume) to be seen via GEOS desktop linking.

name = Zoomie
drives = {

As always, edit your GEOS.INI at your own risk.

I know the GEOS gods may smite me for saying this, but I havn't found desktop
linking to super reliable. It works OK most of the time, sometimes it does
bog down a bit.

I've found this class of programs to be more reliable than desktop linking
(and much faster!). To my knowledge, none of these programs recurse
subdirectories.
