- As long as everybody is telling their favorite ways to download from
- Internet->PC->Atari, I might as well give mine.
-
- The Internet feed comes into a network of Suns here. I can either use
- ftp or remote login from a PC to get to the Sun network. I can then
- list the file (if text or .uue) and capture that to a 5.25" disk on
- the PC.
-
- At home I have CSS's XF551 upgrade (but only a 5.25" disk). This
- includes a program to read IBM or ST files directly (which only works
- if you have the upgrade installed). So I convert them at home to
- ATASCII files, which I can uudecode if they were binary to begin with.
-
- The upgrade can be ordered with a 3.5" disk drive, which makes it easier
- to find a PC with the right size drive.
