Hi, netters

This seemed the closest I could come to the correct newsgroup - if theres one
dedicated to emulators could someone shout?  My father has BBC files  (mostly
text) generated by the View wordprocessor on a BBC Master 128.  The machine is
dying,  and he'd like to be able to read these in as text - doesn't care about
formatting - on an IBM compatible.

I've (sadly) moved to IBM - i'm running a 486DX-50 - and we'll try to import
the files to that machine.  QUESTION: can anybody point me to a program that'll
let me read BBC disks on an IBM compat.?

Thanks in advance,
Mark Shuttleworth
