-
- I don't know if this is any help....but I found this problem copying files
- from the Amiga to the Mac side (shapeshifter).
-
- The solution was to convert the file to HQX, then copy it across, and un-HQX
- it on the Mac. The hard part was getting binhex onto the Mac, but I found
- it on the SSBootFile on the web (I forget where).
-
- The problem is the file on the amiga is MacBinary format....it has the data
- and resource together...but to get it to the Mac, it needs to be separated....
- Sending it through zterm works....except for the serial overruns and system
- lockups. (I was using nullmodem.device).
