  Well, I'm using HP-UX (HP UNIX) and what I do is use CrossDos and/or Dos2Dos
to format a IB? disk [You can't get much on those wimpy 720K disks ;-) ] and
copy the AMIGA stuff onto it. Then I use a program called doscp (DOS COPY) on
the UNIX system to transfer the files from the 3.5" IB? disk onto the UNIX
system.  I don't know if the program doscp is a standard file or if it is
unique to HP's system.  These programs are under /usr/bin and I only have the
binary.  There are about 9 files that start with dos* to do different things.

  Good Luck.
