It will handle ASCII translations, linefeed addition or removal, and of course it will transfer binary files as well. 1571 is required. The program can read, write, and convert between Commodore, MS-DOS, and C128 CP/M formats. The program is from: SOGWAP Software 115 Bellmont Rd. Decatur, IN 46733 (219) 724-3900 Big Blue Reader (64/128) is $44.95. -- David DeSimone, aka "Fuzzy Fox" on some networks. /!/! INET: an207@cleveland.freenet.edu / ..

And vice versa." / --- I have this program. It has, however, some bugs - the most annoying one is that when copying files larger than the meory size (some 200 blocks) on an MSDOS disk, it "forgets" to write the name of the file in the directory (the disk needs a treatment by Norton Disk Doctor or another similar package). Another minus point is that there is no support for sub-directories. BBR can only copy files - it does not delete or rename them. Other programs which can convert between the MSDOS and Commodore formats: BDOS - published some time ago in the German magazine 64'er. It copies, deletes and renames files and supports subdirectories. Can be used with MSDOS and Commodore disks. MSDOS Emulator - runs under Commodore 128 CP/M+ and allows the use of MSDOS diskettes under CP/M. A public domaine version is available.
