Re: Apple transfer to W95 PC
You can print to a disk file which is ASCII test and then send to a PC over
a Null modem cable. The null modem adapter is available at Radio Shack for
around $10, then you can use any Mac to modem cable on a IIGS. I have a
null modem cable connected to my PC via 9-pin serial port and use the Hyper
Terminal program on the PC and Seven Hills Spectrum on the GS. Then I use
Z-Modem to transfer files and the DOS Edit to load & Save the file. This
will convert the CR/LF on the PC. It's a lot cheaper than the Crossworks
package, but you don't get the formatting with the transfer. Later versions
of Appleworks (4.x and up) provide a print to disk option, on the earlier
versions you have to set it up in the printer options. Hope this helps.
