Okay here's my situation,
            I want to know if it is possible to download programs for the ST
using an IBM XT.  Both using a 3.5 drive.  Would I have to Format disks on my
ST and then try to download onto them using the XT or wouldn't it matter or
is it even possible to pull this off?   Thanks for any help that I get.
My situation is that I am in North Dakota with NO ST BBS support and I have a
friend down in Milwaukee that has quite a few ST BBS's to choose from and what
I'd like him to do is to download some of this stuff for me.  Problem is that
he has no ST.  He has an IBM XT with a 3.5 drive.  Can he in any way download
stuff for me using his XT???
                                        Thanks,

                                        Thomas
