PC2Amiga.lha - This is a nifty littly beasty, which allows you to connect an Amiga and a PC together using a 25-pin male to male parallel transfer cable. I've had great success with it using AmigaDOS 3.0 and Windows 95b.
TransDisk - This is part of the WinUAE Amiga emulator for the PC. This puppy allows you to make disk images of Amiga diskettes, for use with the emulator. eg) transdisk >hd0:diskimages/AmigaDOS.adf
This copies the contents of the disk in df0: into a file called "AmigaDOS.adf".
TransROM - This one allows you to copy the Amiga's ROM into and image file for use with WinUAE. Eg) transrom >df0:Kick.rom
This'll copy the ROM image to the diskette in df0:
Az - text editor - Az rocks! It's old, but cool. A nifty text editor. Another great addition to the 'ol C directory.
DMS - This is the command-line version of DMS. Eg) dms read hd0:holdingarea/filename.dms from df0: <-- This squashes the disk in df0: into a file and places it in the directory "HoldingArea" on the hard drive. Eg) dms write file.dms to df0: low 0 high 79
This decrunches "file.dms" back onto an 880K floppy disk in df0:
Hear - Hear is a command-line program for playing audio samples. i.e. hear shreik.iff
NTSC - Typing this on the command line will cause a Fat Agnus-equipped OCS Amiga to switch into NTSC mode.
PAL - Typing this on the command line will cause a Fat Agnus-equipped OCS Amiga to switch into PAL mode.
VT - This is an image viewer.
LibsDir.lha - My entire Libs directory from my Amiga 4000. If you run AmigaDOS, you know why this is important. There's a pretty good chance the Library file you're looking for is in this archive.
C Dir.lha - My Amiga 4000's C directory. Tons of great utilities in here. Enjoy!
Lha - The files that this archiver creates are compatible with Lharc on the PC. Eg) lha -2 -r a crud.lha
The above command will decrunch the archive Crud.lha into the current directory.
Asteriods ii - Nope that's not a typo, and this ain't no utility. It's the best
Shareware Asteroids clone ever! Compatible with Amiga 3000 and 4000.
If the author (Mike Seifert) ever spots this, can he please email me
at jaredbrookes@hotmail.com. I've been trying to track your geniusness down (WJB, 2008).

PC Utilities:
Irfan View - Possibly the
grooviest freeware image viewer ever!
Frag.exe - This goes together with the Unfrag file. Frag is a cool DOS util that allows you to split a file into smaller pieces. Very useful. Works on massive files too.
Unfrag.exe - Unfrag re-assembles the pieces into the original file again.
Pkzip.exe - This is an old command-line version of Pkzip. I still find it to be quite useful.
Pkunzip.exe - Again, an old command-line version. Try placing this in the Command folder (if running Windows 9x).
fz306 - Unarchiver for compressed files with .Lha and .Lzh file extensions for newer PCs. 2000 and XP compatible, and likely Vista as well.
Lha.exe - Lha for the PC. This will allow you to uncompress the Amiga LHA files and maintain long file names. Eg) lha x file.lha
Note: For Win 9x. This utility does not seem to work on 2000, XP, or Vista.
95b-Boot.zip - A boot-diskette
for Windows 95b. Simply unpack this file and throw the files onto a formatted / bootable diskette.
I.e. FORMAT A:/s
Winamp-Mod.zip - Play Amiga Mods on Winamp using this plugin.
98-Boot.zip - And this one is a
boot diskette for Win98se. Includes CDROM drivers, FDISK, and deltree.
PC2Amiga-Archive.zip - Here's the Zip archive for PC2Amiga. It also includes the Amiga PC2Amiga archive, and a nifty help file that I put together. This utility makes file transfers between a PC and Amiga, super easy. I've successfully tested this with a Windows 9x PC and an Amiga 4000, running AmigaDOS WB 3.0.
