- Try CrossDOS. :-) Seriously, Amiga WP format is the same as
- IBM WP 4.2. If you tell IBM WP to save in 4.2 format it can be read
- by an Amiga, and I think WP 5.1 will recognize 4.2 files when reading
- them. Just make sure when you transfer the files that you don't do
- any "text mode" conversions because that'll screw them up.

- In CrossDOS it's as easy as sticking a formatted 720K MS-DOS
- diskette into the Amiga drive and typing COPY #? DI0:.

- Serial port transfers via null modem should work too.
