Does anyone know of a way to get files from an Amiga Zip disk into a Mac?
I need to transfer some files - they have long (ie not suitable for PC
CrossDos) filenames.
Thanks.

The software could be at either the Amiga or Mac end.

I have not transfered to a mac, and I now use Crossdos 7
(Commercial) to transfer to a PC as it has long filename
support.

However, before I got 7 I just used the Zip archiver to
pack the files with long filenames into a .zip file with
a short file name such as "files001.zip" etc. and then
unpacked with winzip on the PC. Maybe this will work for
you.

Amiga archivers are in Aminet util/arc and util/pack.

Saved me so much time it's unbelievable. Its a bit slow but who cares. I got
on with something else.

Thanks again
