Hi,
	Months and months ago, I heard about a program that let IBM's write
Atari 8-bit readable disks.  Just yesterday, I noticed that a program such
as this is available on the atari.archive.  However, the little blurb says
that it writes Mydos format disks.  Unfortunately, I do not have Mydos, and,
while it too is available at the archive, my only way to down load stuff for
my old atari is through the IBM's at work, which means I need the Util
program, which means I need Mydos...and around we go.....  So, my question 
is, are Mydos formated disks compatible with anything else?  I have copies
of Dos 2.5, 3.0 and XL floating around somewhere, will any of these work?
For that matter, does the IBM program work?  Any and all suggestions of how 
I might be able to get Util and/or Mydos would be appreciated.

Thanks,
