Help! I purchased a book bye Steven Worley called Understanding Imagine 2.0, and it came with a disk in the Amiga format. Is there anyway I can convert it to P.C. format? Some type of program or something. Great book! Thanks for any help…

The Best I can tell you is try to find a Local Amiga Owner to copy the Amiga Disk to a IBM Formatted Disk. We can do this thru software such as Messydos or Crossdos where we can read/write/format IBM disks on the Amiga Where are ye located??? You might also ask Steve Himself since he is now Devoloping for the IBM/Clones

Thanks for the info Pete. My brother has an Amiga I'll ask him. I think he has CrossDos. Do you work with Imagine? Can't wait tell version 3.0 comes out. Thanks Again Greg

Glad someone local to you has an Amiga. If he doesn't have Crossdos try looking for a PD prg called MESSYDOS here on Compuserve in Amigaarts. It will do the same thing and let ya save the files from the Books Disk to a IBM formatted Disk. Yup I work with Imagine, I LOVE it, and I'm starting to drool waiting for Imagine 3.0

Sorry, but even if you could convert the disk format the program wouldn't work anyhow. It's written only for the Amiga.

The files on the Disk this gent is talking anbout is Objects and Attributes for Imagine so he shouldn't have any trouble using these files with the PC version of Imagine once he gets them on a IBM Formatted Floppy

Sorry, my mistake. Maybe I should try and have my copy converted.

Sorry John, I've forgotten the thread. What should you try to get Converted?
