After seeing the discussion on file conversion, I'd thought I'd give my current problem a shot. Has anybody heard of an NEC PC 9801 and is it a CP/M machine? The basic situation is this; My boss is trying to put together a book with various authors writing individual chapters. One hope of the publisher was to have all the chapters on disk (and in the same format) so that the typesetting, etc. would be easier. One of the authors sent us his chapter on a 2SHD diskette from the NEC PC 9801, using Wordstar version 4.0. I called NEC here in the states and the guy said that he's never heard of it and that the parent company in Japan sells a completely different line of pc's. If it is a CP/M machine will any of the previously mentioned conversion software (Uniform, Media- Master, 22DSK do the job? I should mention, the only CP/M capable machine we have is the DEC Rainbow, with the RX50 drives. We have several MS-DOS computers around, with both 360K and 1.2 MB drives avail- able. Please respond directly if possible. Thanks. John Grady Chemistry Dept. University of N.H j_grady@unhh.bitnet
