I think people have covered the file format issue and given you a bunch of options. I just wanted to add one hint in terms of the way of transferring the files. If you're just doing one or two, disks are the way to go-but for multiple files and the occasional large graphic you might want to consider using a null modem cable between your PC and the Amiga. Then you can xfer files using any comm program. I use ProComm on the PC and downloaded the FREE program Backtalk from one of the Amiga forums. You also might want to consider downloading both Amiga and PC versions of the LHA/LZH archiving program since it is the only one I've found so far that works reliably on both platforms. It can be a handy tool for really big xfers. -dk
