To the Gurus out there:
I have a PC-compatible machine at work and a AMIGA 500 at home. What is
the best way to download the AMIGA files available on the system for
downloading?. Should I first copy them to my node and transfer them to
MS-Dos and then download them from my PC to the Amiga or is there a
better way to do this?. In either case, would someone tell me what kind
of software I would need in order to download with the Amiga?. Thanks.

Longer reply: If you have a 5-1/4" floppy on the PC, then buy a 5-1/4"
floppy for the Amiga and use PCCOPY, a program that came on the
operating system disk.
If your PC has a 3-1/2" disk, buy CrossDOS for Amiga or use the public
domain program MSH.
In either case you may have to format diskettes on the Amiga, and when
transferring binary files you will soon learn about the CVTARC utility
for VMS.
Free advice: find another Amiga owner at your office and ask how he/she
does it. There are a number of hints and kinks to the downloading
process, and the advice in this notesfile doesn't work 100 percent of
the time at every Digital site.
