No sweat.  I've been using DOS-2-DOS for some time now, without problems.
I usually grab a chunk of text & binaries off the net via my SCO Xenix box
at the office, use "doscp" to put it onto 720K DOS diskettes, then use
DOS-2-DOS to read the DOS diskettes on the Amiga.

I've had a couple of problems with DOS-2-DOS locking up (but not guruing) when
I boot my A500 under 1.3 (w/o 1.3 ROM's); I'm not sure if this is problem is
about 1.3 or about some other software I also boot up with (a different shell,
CON replacement, etc.).  Booting up on my 1.2 WorkBench sans the extra shell &
CON replacement, etc. works just dandy!

DOS-2-DOS also reads/writes Atari 720K diskettes.  I bought the package for
about $60 here in Toronto, so it should be about $10 anywhere else!  :{)
