hi,

   CP/M to DOS exchangers as I have seen in my use of CP/M machines
 are computer dependent, so what's written on one machine will not/may not
 run on another.   I have a TRS-80 4P and am capable of reading the
 formats of almost any CP/M machine due to the software that was written
 for my machine.  Another piece of software was written (also computer
 dependent) which allows me to go back and forth between CP/M - MSDOS
 (several versions) and a TRS-80 operating system in any order.

   Off hand CP/M-86 has a conversion program and that was on a Zenith-100
 computer, but I don't think that was computer dependent.

   There's also one written for the Commodore 128 CP/M which is built into
 the computer's CP/M mode, which only allows you to read other CP/M formats
 only.

   For the generic Commodore there's "Big Blue Reader", which also reads
 MSDOS disks according to what I've heard.

  Under the Osborne FOG library, there's a program called PCPIP and other
 programs which copy between MSDOS and CPM, but I've never really played
 with them due to what I had.

  By the way, what kind of computer do you have, maybe I could help if I
 knew at least that much, or maybe someone else could help, worth a try...
