Asha I got the AMI-BACK-TOOLS, and it worked the way I was hoping it would. I would have liked to try the RE-ORG, but could find it nowhere. The AMI-BACK seems sufficient. Thanks again for helping.

ReOrg can be found in AmigaUser Forum -sja

Thanks Steve! I did find it there the other day, but have a rather dumb problem… I use my PC for Compuserve, all my Amigas are hooked into Midi devices, in other words, no terminal access. Do you know of anyway to download an Amiga program on a PC, then get it to work on the Amiga later?

Since Amiga-OS 2.04 a commodity called CrossDOS is included with all Amigas. This enables you to use floppy disks with MS-DOS format (if you have a HD floppy drive, even 1.44MB MS-DOS floppies). Using this you can just download your stuff with the PC, save to floppy, carry the disk to your Amiga and go on from there. Cheers, // Christian "ELP" Busse \X/ near Frankfurt, Germany

"Since Amiga-OS 2.04 a commodity called CrossDOS" Actually it was Amiga-OS 2.1 -Peter Motorollin' with G-Force 68040 on AutoPilot

Thanks for the correction! Usually I check on everything I write here but this one was from (my bad) memory only… // Christian "ELP" Busse \X/ near Frankfurt, Germany

Louis, <I use my PC for Compuserve, all my Amigas are hooked into Midi devices, in other words, no terminal access. Do you know of anyway to download an Amiga program on a PC, then get it to work on the Amiga later?> Assuming you have either OS 2.1 (or higher) or a copy of Cross-dos, this would be a fairly easy thing to do. D/load it to your PC. Format a disk in your Amiga to MSDos format, walk the disk over to your PC and copy the file onto it. Then you can walk it back, copy it into your Amiga and de-archive it. Should work! Skimming through the Redwoods on AutoPilot Asha
