You are in the same boat I am in. I download the files on my IBM PC, copy them
to a 720K floppy, put the floppy in the Amiga, use CrossDos to allow the Amiga
to read the PC floppy, and copy the files onto my Amiga harddrive or an Amiga
floppy, and un-arc them. IT IS REALLY BECOMING A PAIN IN THE ***. Especially
with files which are larger than the 720K floppy (haven't figured out that one
yet). Some might say "Why not hook the modem to your Amiga" which I could do,
but I am not familiar with AutoPilot (= to WinCim), I like using WinCim, and I
like having my Amiga free to do other things as I pound on the keys on my IBM.
Very shortly I am going to look into serial-to-serial hookup between my IBM and
Amiga or hooking up a HD floppy (1.44MB) on the Amiga. Good Luck :).
