	Hi, I want to transfer files from a sun to a mac via floppy disks.
I believe I can do the following:
	
	1) Format a 3.5" floppy as a DOS disk using the sun.
	2) Write a file (a text file) to it.
	3) Use Apple File Exchange to get the file onto the mac.

	I am having difficulty with step 2.  It was mentioned earlier that
there were 'several programs' to copy files to dos formatted floppys.  Can
anyone tell me what they are?

	I have tried the following:

		mount -t pcfs			[have to be root]
		dos				[not on Sun OS 4.1]

	Thanks, any help is appreciated, please respond by E-mail.
