Transferring files from Windows to RISC OS

To transfer files from Windows to RISC OS:

  1. Save the file in a location which your RISC OS computer can access (for example on a DOS format floppy disc, or on a network server accessible to both types of machine).
  2. Select the file in the filer window on the RISC OS desktop.
  3. Press the middle mouse button (Menu) and choose Set Type from the menu which appears.
  4. Change the file type to Firewrkz.

You will now be able to use the file in RISC OS.

Note that the same problems with font transfer affect Windows to RISC OS file transfers.
