I don't have any experience with Uniform, but if it doesn't work on
a C128 I know of two public domain programs which *might* meet your
needs. (don't know Uniform's capabilities).

One is RSMS233C which is available from SIMTEL20 as
pd:<cpm.c128>rdms233c.lbr which runs in cp/m mode and
copies files from MS-DOS to CP/M but not the other way.

Another which is available on some BBSs in this area at least is
Crosslink which runs in 128/80-column mode and copies to/from
C128, CP/M, MS-DOS formats with or without ASCII<->PETASCII<->
Screen code translation. Its major drawback is that it only handles
files up to 45.5K bytes. The'driver' is in Basic with m/l routines
to do the actual read/write stuff.  The m/l is (semi-)documented
with at least the entry points for the various format reads/writes,
translations but not the required parameters. These could be 
divined from the Basic calls but you need a 'pretty printer'
as the writer crammed as many statements/line as possible to keep
the buffer size as large as possible, making it hard to read.
Once that was done, you could write your own to read a little/write a
little to handle larger file sizes.

Sorry I couldn't answer your original question, but these are alternatives
if the answer is 'no'.
