[comp.sys.apple] CP/M+ <-> Apple DOS3.3 file transfer

paul@athertn.Atherton.COM (Paul Sander) (10/10/88)

Hello, net.wizards:

I own an old Apple II Plus, and have installed a "CP/M Card [TM]" from
Advanced Logic Systems.  The Card runs CP/M 3.0 in a banked memory
configuration.

What I am looking for is a way of converting files from CP/M format to
DOS 3.3 and vice-versa.  I have looked into CP/Muffin from A.P.P.L.E., but
it does not transfer files to CP/M format, and for some reason I have not
had much luck coaxing it to transfer file from CP/M to DOS either.

I would appreciate any leads you can give me.

Many thanks in advance,

Paul Sander

What you need is a program called 'Chameleon'. It does file transfers between 
almost all of Apple 16 sectors formats. It will work on ProDOS, DOS 3.3, Pascal 
and CP/M files. Its shareware, available on most BBS'.  Your system will need a 
16K ram card in slot 0 since it runs under ProDOS.

Hope this helps
