We recently purchased a package called "UniForm" from Micro Solutions,
Inc. in DeKalb, Illinois for about $70.  Our primary purpose was to
transfer straight text data files from a Kaypro II to an IBM-PC and back.
While we haven't done much with it yet, it seems as though it will work 
just fine.  The package prides itself at being able to create exchangable
data diskettes, for situations where you have compatible data files but
incompatable diskette formats.  When run on a PC, you can read/write
from/to any of the following formats:

The company's phone number is 815-756-3421, if you need more information
than the above.  I've only talked to them one time, but found them to be
quite helpful.  We will be testing this package out more thoroughly in
the next 2 weeks.  If I find any real glaring problems, I'll post them
here.
