My question regards how to transfer a DATA (non text, but 8 bit bytes) file from UCSD Pascal to DOS3.3 format diskettes on an Apple ][+. Are there utilities to do this, and if so, who could help me to a copy/pointer. As alternative, I could KERMIT or XMODEM the file back and forth to my other computer(s), if I had a KERMIT for both UCSD and DOS3.3. Do these exist ? If you have any answers/suggestions, I would appreciate your e-mail response to the address below (I don't really read this group). Thanks, Gert Slavenburg (UUCP : ..!pyramid!prls!gert)

Assuming that you do not have a random access file that you need to convert, I think that Universal File Conversion, published by Quality Software (1986 address was 21601 Marilla St., Chatsworth CA 91311) should do your job. It converts between PASCAL, DOS3.3, ProDOS, and CP/M. I have used it only with text files (USCD PASCAL to ProDOS), but the only exclusion the manual makes is random access files. List price was $35. ****DISCLAMER: My comments, etc., are my own shakey opinions ******** | Bruce P.

I suggest that you try the Chameleon program (it is files 87-00030 and 87-00031 on the APPLE2-L list server at the BITNET node BROWNVM). I have never tried it with DATA files, but I have used it for TEXT files. Moreover, the price is sure right. When I had a bunch of Apple Pascal (UCSD) DATA files to transfer over to DOS 3.3 (or ProDOS), I wrote a Pascal program to read the files and write them out as TEXT files. I then used the System Utilities program on one of the old system disks to convert the TEXT file to the DOS of my choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------- J.

Moreover, the price is sure right. NOTE!!! The Chameleon is *** SHAREWARE *** I've forgotten what the price is ($25??) but it really isn't much considering how handy the program is if you really have a need for it! If you use it (ESPECIALLY if it saves you a lot of work), you really ought to (gladly) send in the fee.
