If your CP/M machine is a Kaypro, Osborne, or one of a number of other machines, programs exist to let the CP/M machine write and copy to nad from MS-DOS diskettes. On the Kaypro I have COMPAT by Mycroft labs, and it works fine. You might still be able to find copies. I think UNIFORM also works. On the MS-DOS end there are also programs to read CP/M diskettes, but I can't think of the name of one, offhand. Even these programs will only read certian formats though, so without knowing what kind of computer you have I can't be of any futher help. Good luck! (You might end up finding it simpler to put a serial port on the MS-DOS computer just for this purpose, it may be cheaper, and simpler in the long run...) -- Russell Rezaian | rrezaian@austral.UUCP P.O.
