You know what one of the "best" TOPS features is? Mount a volume published on a PC with TOPS. Use option-copy to copy only the text contents of a file from the PC to your Mac. Your mileage may vary, but in my situation (PC TOPS -> localtalk -> bridge -> thin ethernet -> mac) there is about a 50% chance that the file will be corrupted, with garbage characters and random stuff from the Mac's memory inserted somewhere in the middle. (I.e. TOPS warning messages, pieces of previously read files that must have been sitting in the disk cache, etc. It's truly amazing what shows up.) Peter Desnoyers
