I'm after a bit of software which is only available on CD for
the Amiga. Trouble is, I don't have a CD-ROM. So I was wondering
if it's possible for a PC to read it so that I can transfer it
across. (My plan is to pop down to the local Cybercafe and mail
the software to myself - I only need a couple of megs).
Won't the long Amiga filenames confuse a PC though, even if the
disc formatting is nominally the same?
Thanks
