[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Need Program to Read C64 Floppies on IBM PC

srt@maui.cs.ucla.edu (Scott Turner) (05/08/90)

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only one decade out-of-date (no offense to C64s or PCs intended) but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?

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.
