Someone recently mentioned that they could write Atari-compatible disks using
an IBM?  I'd heard rumours concerning this sort of thing, but I'd like to hear
some specific information.  Is it really possible? (well, all thinigs are 
possible)   What sort of hardware/software is needed?  Does it work both ways?
(i.e., IBM->Atari and Atari->IBM)

Also, does anyone have an opinion about the 80-column version of AtariWriter?
I'm finding it hard to live with a 40-column display, so AtariWriter is looking
attractive....
