- You cannot write Amiga disks with a PC. It's actually a physical
- impossibility. However, you _can_ get an Amiga to read PC disks.
- AmigaDOS 2.x or 3.x comes with a utility called CrossDOS. There's also a
- public-domain thing called messydos, which is my favorite.

- No. None that work with Amiga disks.

- The dir or list command will do this.

- Check out http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news and look for the
