The best alternative I found when I was trying to transfer files from my
C64 to MS-DOS was to find a friend who had a C128 with a 1571 disk drive.
There is a software package called BIG BLUE READER that can format MS-DOS
diskettes on the 1571 drive.  Transferring from the C64 format to MS-DOS
format then is very simple.  Big Blue Reader will read the C64 disk and
write the MS-DOS disk on the 1571 drive.  Worked great for me.
