From: "Frank J. Wancho" <WANCHO@Simtel20.ARPA> The conversions of MICRO:<PC-BLUE.*>, MICRO:<CPMUG.*>, and MICRO:<SIGM.*> are now complete. Files with a generation number of .2 are ASCII files, while those with .1 remain ITS-Binary files. Some files with apparent ASCII filetype names, such as, .BAS, .ASM, .DOC, and others, were not converted because a high-bit was detected or there were more than 40% control characters before the first ^Z (the CP/M EOF for ASCII files). The most likely reason is that such files were created or edited using WordStar in Document mode. There will be no further conversions attempted on such files. Each of the above directories now contains an up-to-date .CRCLST file which indicates which files are "COM" (ITS-Binary) and which are ASCII files. For those interested in such things, the total disk space recovered was 3,708 pages or about 12%. Not quite as much as I had hoped, but every page counts. --Frank
