Allan, A friend of mine recently had the same problem. (At least it sounds like it) Almost any modem program with a text capture mode will collect the ascii data and allow storage to a CP/M file. However, the model 100 fails to transmit linefeeds. Thus, a file of this construct, lists continually on one line. On, the other hand if you use Wordstar to view the file, you will be able to see it all. To convert the file to useable CP/M format is pretty simple. All that's required is a program to open the text file and create a second file, then read a line from the existing file and write it to the new file, finally close the files when it's done. CP/M (at least that on the 820) will see the carriage return as the end of the line when reading and append the line feed when writing. I've used this method in MBASIC and C without any problems. If you need a source file let me know and I'll send one. Fred
