NP >>Sometimes I get a little jealous when I see the marvellous variety of files available on here for Mac/PC owners. Is there anyway I can get my hands on any of these? Can Crossdos be of any use?<< CrossDOS allows the Amiga to read IBM formatted disks. It doesn't do too much more than that. There are software emulators that allow you to run IBM software on the Amiga, but most of them emulate 8088 or 8086 based IBM's, while the really powerful IBM software demands a 80386 or better. There are some graphic converters in the libraries, that allow you to view IBM graphic files. And some of the Amiga wordprocessors can read special formats used by certain IBM wordprocessors.
