- Do you you have MTools at your place of work? If you do, then mcopy will
- do the transfer just fine. I've heard that older versions of mtools write
- files that the ST can't read, but I can't verify this. I've used mtools
- at my school without any problems. There are commands to do just about
- anything to the floppy that you would need to do. 'man mtools' should
- give you a complete list of commands that are available and how to use
- them.
-
- I hope this is a help to you.
