- Easy! Depends on your system though; if you have 3.0+ then use the "PC0:"
- device; else get messydos (etc..) which is PD.
-
- Now copy all the relevant files to the required disk. Using a Shell/CLI
- script (`batch file`), Mount PC0: or whatever. Now proceed to copy anyfile
- available on the Amiga to PC0: (or whatever). What's the problem?
-
- Read the messydos docs on what files are required. For 3.0+, I'll need to
- have a quick look at my setup to remind me what the files are called - ask me
- if you need to know! I think they're just in L: and Devs:

- No sooner said than done!
-
- I assume you have some knowledge of Amiga CLI/Shell, or else you may be rather
- stuck without lots of help. What setup are you using anyway? A harddrive?
- External disk drive? 1Mb memory? A500?
