- There's a program called Twin that comes with both amiga and a
- PC executables. You connect both computers with a "null" cable
- (you can buy it, or make one according to the diagram in the docs),
- start the executables in both platforms and "presto"! You can
- do remote dir, copy, delete, move, etc from one computer to
- the other. You can FTP this tool from aminet (Twin11a.lha or something
- like that)
