Go to http://www.ghostsoft.com. They have a product called GHOST,
which works excellent for us for cloning Win95 machines. We tried the
30-day trial and it worked fabulous. Ghost can clone to the server
and back, or through two LPT ports. It also works for Win95, OS/2,
and Windows NT. It copied off our 110MB Win95 setup in 3.5 minutes on
our network and brings it back at the same speed.

Note: The company that makes it happens to be in Milwaukee, where I
am. But otherwise, there's no relationship. This is the best tool I
know of for cloning PCs with OS's that have long filenames.
