I need to transfer files between the Mac and the Amiga, mostly FROM the latter TO the former. I've got an Amiga-program called MacView. It converts pictures, but in the wrong direction. So if you know of any Mac- or Amiga-program that converts pictures or formatted text, please let me know. kitte d85_kitte@tekn01.chalmers.se PS Today I discovered that it *IS* possible to do writes & deletions on write-protected discs. At least if you have my (special-edition?) 1010 external discdrive :-(

I assume the program's on a relatively recent Fish disk, or in a net archive, or some other not-too-inconvenient location; I got mine off of a local BBS some time ago. You might also contact the author (Scott Evernden, I believe) for the latest version. -- - Mike Shawaluk (...!uunet!uwmcsd1!lakesys!mikes)
