I know of *no* IFF viewers/soundplayers or converters for the Mac. Pictures must be converted to GIF on the Amy to be viewed by a Mac (I don't know about the IBM). Is there an Amiga file manager on the Mac or the IBM, like Mac2DOS or MessyFileSystem on the Amy? As far as I know, it's a one-way trip. Alternate file formats must be managed by the Amiga. > _. >--Steve ._||__ > Warren v\ *| > V Dave Hopper | /// Anthro Creep | Academic Info Resources, Stanford |__ /// . . | and NeXT Campus Consultant bard@jessica. |\\\/// Ia!
