[comp.sys.amiga] Easy way to move ASCII files from MAC to AMIGA... VIA MS-DOS!

joseph@garfield.MUN.EDU (Joseph Dawson) (04/09/89)

I work for Newfoundland Development Corp.  We use 37 MACs and 27 IBMs
and I use MY AMIGA AT HOME!

One of the first programs you get with your MAC is a program that
will let you move files from a MAC disk to a MS-DOS disk.   So when
I want to move my Amiga files to the MAC I use DOS2DOS and put the
files in MS-DOS format.  Then use the MAC to MS-DOS program.  

Very simple and fast!

Please ! Whats the name of the Mac to MSDOS program? Our system support
people here say that its not possible except with the newest Macs which
have smarter disk controllers.
