CrossDos, CrossMac, CrossPC, and zip content from them as plain zip files
name the zip file as the floppy name if importange what name it have to get
the program to install after restore it to floppy

in linux i can mount adf files natively

mount -o bind -t affs /mnt/floppy adf-imagefile

ls -l /mnt/floppy/

with dos one just need to install mtools, then mdir a: works as it was a
old pc with msdos 1.0 :)

i can do this in my commodore 128d with 2 1571 floppy disks, in cpm mode i
have a msdos emulator to transfer files from msdos disk to cpm disks

pip ....

adf is not a fail at all, dms is :=)

aminet download transadf

CrossMAC, CrossDOS, CrossPC remember the problem here, i have a cbm 2088 oh
all that pc in the time, had fun mount the live C: drive via CrossDOS to
amiga and transfer files live from pc and reverse without rember any thing
about problems in doing so, gifview gif files from adpro, wow :)

 KM> Thanks for any ideas 8-)

keep up the good work btw, i have around 75000 adf files, hope i can make
it more complete then TOSSEC :)
