Neil, From some previous messages I've gotten, it seems the Amiga-specific interface is the way to go. Some problem with a one-pixel high white line (or one pixel too many of line feed) with the IBM interface. Andrew

Randy; Thanks for the reply, and for the information. Would it be a problem if I downloaded files for the Amiga, gave them filenames that DOS can handle, but gave instructions for renaming the file as it is downloaded to an Amiga? have to do that with some of the c64 files I stock. –>Steve

No problem at all. Just don't use Xmodem for your transfers 🙂

Michael; OK, thanks; what protocol is acceptable. Is B OK to dl with from here? –>Steve

Steve: Any of the CIS 'B' protocols will be fine. The B+ XPR contained in the BackTalk archive in lib 5 of AmigaUser is a good one.

Michael; Thanks, my comm program uses the B family, I download all the time with it for DOS, just didn't know if Amiga files were particular about what protocol is used for the transfer. –>Steve

I think the only way to do that would be to include a README.TXT type file and hope everybody reads it. I'd still suggest that you compress your files on the Amiga using PKAZip or equivalent. Give the Zip file a standard DOS type filename. Inside the Zip, however, the files can have their full-length names when the Zip file is extracted on the users Amiga. – via Whap!
