[comp.sys.apple] File translation

SEWALL@UCONNVM.BITNET (04/29/87)

Among the ways to transfer files from DOS to PAScal to CP/M to
ProDOS (and pairwise combinations of these) is SOFTERM 2 (version
2.51 for ProDOS).  SOFTERM also provides for some minor editing
(stripping surplus line-feed characters, setting or clearing the
high bit, and such) while it copies.  Changing filetype also is
permited (with LOTS of limitations on ProDOS -- SOFTERM's ProDOS
features are quite crude and barely adequate).

Even though it operates under DOS 3.3, SOFTERM will up/download
directly to/from PAScal, CP/M, and ProDOS (floppies only) formats
(CP/M card not needed).  On the whole, SOFTERM is the most capable
Apple II Comm program (who else does IBM-3101 in block mode?), but
it's VERY expensive ($195 list; I've seen it mail order for $135).
