[comp.sys.cbm] CPM<-->MSDOS disk formats

Guillermo Velasco asked if there was a program to xfer files from a CP/M
formatted diskette to an MSDOS formatted diskette on the 1571 drive.

The only two programs I'm aware of are Big Blue Reader (commercial) and
XLINK (shareware?) by Chris Garamzegy (sp?).  Both programs claim to do
complete transfers.  Of course software written for CP/M won't run on
MSDOS....

I didn't see the original article, and I don't really read this
newsgroup (my C128 is in the attic somewhere...), but I thought I'd
mention my own excellent "File Wizard", which I wrote some 3-4 years
ago.  It can do a *lot* of things.

Never heard of it?  No wonder, I never got around to marketing it.  I
sold 45 copies of the Norwegian version, that's all.

I guess i shouldn't say more here; I can send more info by e-mail, if
anyone's interested.
