#Amiga & PC

The 2.0's manual specify that Lightwave can accept objects from Autocad.
Great! But I'm now looking for an utility to transfer files from a PC to
Amiga. Help!
*Pascal*
CrossDos 5.0 will do the trick. (a scaled down version will be included
with WB 2.1).
Hi. A reply to your old message…
I went down this same road… Short of dropping a few hundred for and
ethernet card for the amiga, the best solution I have found is a shareware
package called "Twin". It lets you use a null modem cable between the PC
and Amiga and do bidirectional file transfers between 'em (plus DIR, etc)
It's reasonably fast and believe me, this beats the hell out of
transferring a few hundred image frames Amiga->PC by floppy!! (I was doing
this to take Toaster IFF image files over to the PC for conversion to TGA
and animation as a ".FLI" sequence — mainly for test runs of
animations…)
The TWIN programs come in two pieces – a PC version and a Amiga version. I
THINK the Amiga version is in Amiga User+. I can't remember where the heck
the PC version is — try IBM File Finder and search for "TNXB11.*"??? The
Amiga file is TNXB11.LZH, I thimk…
There are also some Amiga utils that let you read/write PC MS-DOS
diskettes… One of them lets you use FD0 as an MSDOS drive (MD0). I
THINK I found 'em in AmigaTech+.
I hear that the next AmigaDOS release will include CrossDos — a good
example of a manufacture actually being non-myopic about the PC world…
Hope this is of SOME help!
