Here's what I'd like to do: I have an Amiga, a friend has a Mac. We're going to endeavor to write some software for both machines simultaniously. We can send files to one another via E-mail. By using shar and uuencode/uudecode, we can get through the mail system without any problem. I would like any suggestions on how we can archive (via zoo, arc, stuffit, or others) these files in order to shrink and/or encapsulate them. Questions: 1) Is the archiving step necessary? For the present, all files will be text (source). We would like eventually to be able to xmit binaries. 2) Is there a common, reliable, bi-directional archiving program available for both machines? 3) Is something as costly/sophisticated as AMax or Mac2Dos necessary? I would like to keep this free/very low cost if possible. My thanks for any advice/remarks. Please respond via E-mail. |======================================================================| | Allen H.
