- Well, it depends what you exactly want. There does exists a program
- named Twin Express, which is a file transfer program between a
- (IBM)-PC and an Amiga.
-
- Here's some info taken from TwinDoc V1.1:
-
-
-
- 1.1 SUMMARY OF FEATURES
-
- This section highlights the most important features of
- Twin Express:
-
- 1. Fast serial transfers: about 22,000 bytes/second between
- two 12.5 MHz AT-type computers or two Amiga computers
- (ram disk to remote ram disk transfers).
-
- 2. Compatible versions run under AmigaDOS and PC-DOS.
-
- 3. Translation of text files when they are transferred to a
- different type of computer (useful for transfers between
- Amiga and IBM-PC computers).
-
- 4. Simple, easy to use commands similar to those used by
- your operating system (e.g. DIR, COPY, RENAME, etc).
-
- 5. Command name aliases compatible with AmigaDOS, PC-DOS
- and UNIX commands (e.g. MAKEDIR, XCOPY, LS).
-
- 6. Support for wildcard characters allowing users to select
- a group of files with a single command. The operation
- can be extended to include files found in
- subdirectories.
-
- 7. User may list directory files, change the default
- directories and create or remove directories.
-
- 8. Copies of files get the same date stamp as the original
- files.
-
- 9. On-line help.
-
- 10. Support for command files (batch files).
-
- 11. Transmission errors are detected and corrected (by
- retransmission of bad packets).
-
- 12. Support for ports COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4 on the IBM-PC
- or compatible computers.
-
- 13. Support for baud rates up to 115200 on IBM-PC or
- compatible computers and 290000 on Amiga computers.
-
-
-
- I hope this could/will help (a bit).
