Do not buy Dos-2-Dos.  It is a waste of money because there are
much better programs available.

Dos-2-Dos can only transfer files by running the program through
the cli.  And then you have to use Cli commands to move files
back and forth.  It was probably writen by someone who never
heard of Intuition.

Dos-2-Dos is not public domain.

Msh is a public domain program that reads, writes and formats
IBM 3.5" and 5.25" disks.  As far as the Amiga user is concerned
once MSH is mounted, the interface is transparent.  i.e.
You can read and write to IBM disks from any program and you
won't even realize that it is not an Amiga disk. 
This program is wonderful.  It does not say anything about using
Atari disks.

CrossDOS is a similiar program.
In its tryware version it reads IBM and ATARI disks but can not
write to them.
The commercial version reads and writes IBM and ATARI disks.

Both MSH and CrossDOS can read and write to Harddrives that
are IBM formated.

MSH and the tryware version of CrossDOS are available on
the Fred Fish disks.  They both work with 2.0, with a few
bugs.
