[comp.sys.amiga] Need a file to extract files from IBM to Amiga

kimshi@wpi.WPI.EDU (Erik Currin) (10/26/90)

Hi,

	I am looking for a very specialized type file that I hope
somebody can let me copy or point out the ftp site.  You see, I need
to transfer files off an IBM disk to an Amiga disk. This problem
occurs because I don't have a modem and can only access IBM PC's for
downloading stuff. So if anyone knows of a program that will do this
(even a name and specs would help) please email me at
kimshi@wpi.wpi.edu.


			Thanks.

There is a commercial program called CrossDos that allows the Amiga
to read and write MSDOS disks in a very easy to use way.  It is inexpensive.
Call any mail order dealer.

There is also a PD program called MSH that does the same thing.

 Latest v. is 1.3, I think.  Try your local computer club.
