- Or alternatively you could use 'backup' (the MSDOS command) on the PC and
- use PC-Restore on the Amiga. This way you can always fit Amiga files on a
- PC disk (for example a 800K dms file on 2 720K PC disks, without the need
- to split it first).
-
- You can get it from Aminet:
- pcres250.lha misc/emu 40K+PcRestore V2.50. Now with Locale.
