CompuServe Messages

Gerhard, I have an IBM compatible Notebook computer I take on the road with me. At home I have a 500 also. On the Notebook I run TAPCIS which of course allows me to continue to log on to Compuserve, read messages, download files, etc. There is a couple of good programs available that allows you to transfer files back and forth. Two programs that I have are "Dos to Dos" by Central Coast Software (now a division of New Horizons) and a public domain program called "MessyDOS" which can be found within the libraries here. Try files, MsDos1.lzh and Messyf.lzh. Another good one, "CrossDOS". So if I have a program or two downloaded onto my Notebook I just use one of the above programs running on my A500 and read the files off of an IBM 720k floppy diskette, that is loaded in one of the Amiga disk drives. You can go the other way too…use a terminal program or WHAP! , retrieve whatever you want for your IBM PC then transfer the files the other way. Hope I was some assistance…
