The source didn't make it to this site, I would like to have had
it.  By the way, what ever happened to the C conversion of the
Punter module that was alluded to on this newsgroup?

But back to the subject at hand.  I have a terminal emulator
called "Thirdterm" that I use to get around this problem (yes,
there also are Firstterm and Secondterm versions out there).  The
X-Modem option in this particular program asks you if you want to
do the Ascii to PET Half-Ascii conversion.  I haven't had any
problems transferring text to and from UNIX using the conversion.
