It works quite well and has a lot of good features. The program can supposedly tell whether the old discs are in model I/III/4 format and can even deal with other operating systems created for those machines. It can convert SuperScripsit files into ASCII files (VERY useful) during the transfer and also will fix variations in RS basic to run under GW basic during the conversion. The program tries to guess what type of file it is dealing with before attempting to convert it, but lets you confirm this, in case your basic files don't have ".bas" extensions, etc. And, though I probably won't have need for it, it also works the other way, being able to format a RS disc on a PC and then copy files to it. -- Ernest -- My opinions are my own and probably not IBM-compatible.--ehr Ernest H.
