- You have a couple of options. First, the KeyDOS utility (which is available
- in software form _I_think_ at milton, or on a EPROM from Antigrav Toolkit -
- let me know if you need the address), which is a complete file management
- utility that includes the ability to type both PETSCII and ASCII files.
- Second, you could get ZED-128 (on ccosun.caltech.edu, file name
- /pub/rknop/utilities/zed-128.075 and .doc), which is a 80 column text editor
- that has the ability to read and write PETSCII and ASCII (and ZED correctly
- handles any of the three most common line terminators with ASCII: CR, LF, and
- CR-LF).
