Well, I just finished writing a preliminary file transfer utility set for
my IBM which does three things:

1.  Allows an IBM/PC to take a directory on a COCO Disk, showing the file
    sizes (in grans and bytes) as well as the mode and type of the file,
    all in a nice MSDOSish looking list (similar to what DIR looks like).

2.  Allows an IBM/PC to read one or more files from a COCO Disk.

(note that the above two functions support wildcards in std. IBM form)

3.  Allows an IBM/PC to write a file (ONE at a time, no wildcards) to a
    COCO disk; this also requires you to set the type and mode for the
    file storage on the COCO disk (hence the reason for no wildcarding).

All of these utilities are written in Microsoft C (V4.0) and are commented.
I also have commented machine language source for the original directory
function, which I wrote about two years ago.  I patterned the C after the
assembly code, and it very closely follows in organization (in fact many
of the comments are direct copies).  These are all executed as dos commands.

By the way:  This file transfer utility is NOT for OS/9 disks, it's for
the color disk basic compatable disks.  I believe that the code is solid,
and all of it was originally authored by myself, so I now declare that the
only restrictions that I'll place on it is that it not be distributed for
any form of compensation (of course, without prior arrangement :-> )

If you've got any interest in these, maybe we can post them to the network
(possibly under comp.sources.misc).  Hope this is what you're looking for.
