Re: Fastest way to convert files from A2 to PC?

["Tom Zuchowski" <tzuchow@attglobal.net>]

There was a utility called Cross-Works that can transfer files directly from
the Apple to the PC and vice-versa. It has some rudimentary file conversion
capability, such as Apple-text/PC-txt and can of course also transfer files
with no conversion. It works with a serial cable or via modem.

I do not know if it is available any more. You might be able to find a used
copy on Ebay.

Alternatively you should be able to hook up via a serial link using telecom
software on both ends.
