Hello, you all.

For those of you who use SUN Sparc workstations with floppy drives, I
have a question to ask for help: Is it possible, and how to transfer
DOS ASCII files from floppies to a SUN Sparc station? According to
SUN's booklet, the floppy drives for SUN Sparc stations are MS-DOS
compatible. Does it mean that we can transfer files from and/or to
floppies that which can be used on PCs? I don't think files transfered
with the "bar" command are MS-DOS compatible...
