- I found a program called C64Term which is a Color 64 term program for the IBM.
- Included is a program called CBM2ASCII which converts Commodore PETSCII to
- standard ASCII. That program should work unless the info is stored in screen
- code format. Usually there is a command in the word processor to save in SEQ
- PETSCII format. I've never used OmniWriter64 so I don't know how you would do
- that. There probably is a screen code to ASCII converter program too
- somewhere.
