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
