[net.micro.cpm] CPM-to-MSDOS

HUERTAS@USC-ECLC.ARPA (HUERTAS) (03/27/85)

Does anyone know about a program for the IBMPC that can convert text
files created under CPM to MS-DOS format?
Thanks! -Andres (HUERTAS@USC-ECLC)

There is a commercial program called UNIFORM for the PC which allows you
to read write and initialize disks on a PC to about 100 different CP/M
formats.  Basically it allows you to create, for example, a Kaypro disk
drive on your PC and then access it just as if it were an IBM disk.
There are other similar programs with which I am not so familiar - Media
Master is the name of one, XenoDisk is another.  For the Kaypro there is
a public domain program called MFDISK (Multiple Format Disk) which allows
a similar function from the other end, although it is not as powerful
as UNIFORM when dealing with MSDOS formats.

UNIFORM is available from:

MicroSolutions
Software Products Division
125 South Fourth St.
Dekalb, Il. 60115
(815) 756-3421

Cost: $69.95

Andres,

A company called MicroSolutions in De Kalb, Illinois has a program
called UNIFORM that will do just that.

My version of MS-DOS (2.05) has a program RDCPM that allows you to read
and copy CPM formated disk files to an MS-DOS disk. My system is a DEC
rainbow 100, but the program might exist for the IBM-PC also.

 Seattle Computer Products had a program like this which they
 packaged with their msdos systems. I don't know if they sell
 it separately. They are at:
 1114 Industry Dr.
 Bellvue, Wa.
 as I recall.
 Hope this helps,
 John
