- Linh,
-
- This is the program I mentioned. It's really pretty
- primitive, but it does the job. The program will tell you to
- insert your CP/M disk and press a key, then tell you that it's
- reading the diskette. From there, all you have to do is type 'Y'
- when asked to copy the named file. When you run the program
- you'll understand what I mean.
-
- The only real limitation of the program (aside from the
- obvious awkwardness) is that, as written, it can only deal with a
- specific 5 1/4" diskette format (256 bytes per sector, 16 sectors
- per track, double sided). If your CP/M system doesn't use that
- format, you'll probably have to get in touch with me so that we
- can work out the correct format.
-
- Speaking of getting in touch with me, I would really
- appreciate it if you would get back to me on whether or not the
- silly thing works, and, if so, how well. I've used the program
- to copy diskettes from where I work to my home PC, and it does
- fine for me. Then again, I wrote it. So, I want you to let me
- know if it's useful for you. If there were enough people
- interested, I could work a little more on some software to offer
- fairly complete services for moving back and forth between DOS
- and CP/M.
-
- In case you want to get a hold of me, you can reach me at
- the BBS where you left your message, or, if you're closer to
- Cincinnati, at Allen Miller's FidoNet node at (513)579-2587. If
- you feel as uncomfortable with messages as I do, just call me (at
- reasonable hours, please; I live in Indiana) at (317)478-6393.
- Just ask for Aaron.
-
- Good luck,
- Aaron Brenner
