  I think Dos2Dos and CrossDos are both available as public domain, but you
will not be able to convert from Amiga to IBM/Atari. With the PD version, you
can read from IBM/Atari to Amiga, so look for the PD versions of CrossDos
or Dos2Dos (I have both, and am sure that at least one is PD).

  You need Mac2Dos with a Macintosh disk drive. It will cost $90 for Mac2Dos
and the disk drive adapter, and it will cost $150 for the Mac external disk
drive. If you have AMAX! and an external disk drive, it will cost $450. Both
will allow you to convert from Amiga to Mac or Mac to Amiga.
