Richard, the program you want is CrossDOS. It installs seamlessly (well, pretty darn close) into the Amiga environment as a new device for each physical Amiga drive (say, mf0: for df0:, mf1: for df1: (or A: and B: if you're a real IBMer)), and then allows you to access them with all the standard AmigaDOS commands (copy, dir, list, delete, etc) if you specify their device, even from within a program (Pulling up TxEd Plus, entering "mf0:" into the device string requestor, and clicking on the file name to load an IBM-format file on an IBM-format disk into TxEd Plus (as a side note, there are even automatic filters to strip or add Line Feeds and ending Control-Z's that are specified by simply including "[" or "]" in the filename)). Best of all, it's only $29.95 retail…I got it for $26.96 at my local Software Etc. 🙂
