My aunt is a writer who has been using a Commmodore 64 w/ Paperback
Writer for many years. She's like to change over to something more
only one decade out-of-date (no offense to C64s or PCs intended) but
doesn't want to leave behind all her work.
So, are there programs available for the IBM PC which will read C64
floppies? Perusing the archives on simtel20, I see a couple of
programs that will read CPM floppies. Will these work? If not, can
you point me in the right direction or (even better) send me a
program?

There's a product out there called 'Big Blue Reader' for the c128 that will read and write single sided IBM disks. All IBMs can read single sided disks, so that would work. Only problem is, you need a c128 and a 1571 disk drive. If you could borrow someone else's machine, you could do it. The only other suggestion is buying modems for both machines, and having one call the other, and sending the files that way John Feinberg SUNY Buffalo

Try XenoCopy-PC from XENOSOFT, 2210 Sixth Street, Berkeley, CA 94710-2210 (415) 644-9366 I don't see C64 on the list, but it's worth asking them! It sometimes takes a few days to get a response, as the author does this in his spare time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Nolan "rm -f 'witty messages' Tailored Software Services, Inc.
