Robin, You can do this in several ways. I would suggest that you invest in a commercial program called CrossDOS from Consultron. You should find it at any Amiga dealer – local or mail order – for well under $30. It will let you use your Amiga drives for either Amiga or for MS-DOS, just by using the correct name for the drive according to the system you want it to read or write. It is very dependable and almost invisible once you have it installed. I don't know what I'd do without it! There is a similar program here for downloading, in Library 11 of AmigaTech: MSDOS1.LZH 11 49K 07-17-90 V.1.3 of MSDOS, read/write MS-DOS disks in AMy Many people find this to work well, but I personally prefer CrossDOS and have found it more dependable – and it costs so little, too! Anyway, once you have one of these installed, you can put your 3 1/2" MS-DOS into your Amiga drive and read your program into the Amiga or copy it to a disk that works under AmigaDOS. Then you would use it just as though you had downloaded to your Amiga in the first place. Betty
