I think, your brother should first upgrade the AmigaDOS to at least 2.05 or perhaps to 3.1 to have a plenty of tools coming with the system software. With that software he gets a tool caled CrossDOS, which gives him the possibility to read/write DD/HD PC disks (depending on the floppy drive built in – DD or HD). You already have that ability on your mac, I think. So you should than be able to transfer the programs. BTW, if your brother does NOT upgrade his AmigaDOS, he will surely get some problems running newer programs, because most of them NEED at least Workbench/Kickstart 2.0 or higher! Rob.
