All A-Max Users: Anyone willing to let me have a copy of there FreeTerm or any other PD terminal program for the Mac. I'll send you the disk and a SASE to send it back to me. Than I will be able to down load off of CIS for my A-Max.

Download it from one of the MAC forums here or a MAC BBS to your Amiga. As long as it is smaller than 230K (I think) you can put on an A-MAX "mini transfer disk" and get it to the A-Max side that way. — Art

No you can't – the mini transfer disks will only move the data forks – the resource forks (the programs, that is) won't be moved. I tied it; The Mac (AMAX) told me that I now had a document. I solved it by getting a term program from a freind, using it to DL a PD/SAhareware one, and going from there. –Ben-

Have you tried this and gotten it to work? I think I tried it once, and didn't have any success with it. Steve

Art, as I understand it, because on Macs all files have a data fork and a resource fork, you can't just do a conversion like that. If you do have an Apple drive, you can transfer any file up to 800K. — Ethan
