Is there anyone out there who can help me with a little problem ? I need a DOS program that can write files to a disk in either DFS or ADFS formats. This is so I can transfer software and work from our UNIX system to a PC (using Kermit) then copy them to a DFS or ADFS disk so that I can run them on my BBC Master 128. I know there is software available on the market but I'm a very poor student who can't afford to buy 20 pound software for such a menial task. Can anyone surply me something to do this cheaply !!!???? PLease !!!

There are, I believe, a couple of archaic BBC's still linked to the system..... -Chris -- ~-=-~-~-=-~=~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=- Chris Taylor: csg053%cck.cov.ac.uk@earn-relay.ac.uk ~-=-~-~-=-~=~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-~-=-

I've tryed using <TAPE> but I can't get anything to load again after saving it !!! This is why I need the program detailed above, as the only micros with drives and kermit left are PC's. I'm still hoping that someone has a program that they'll sell me for cheap or give me or on shareware. Any helpers.....
