Subject: Emulation - file transfer

Sorry if this is a little bit of heresy but...............
The BBC emulators have enabled me to try my games on my PC without having to
have yards of cable etc all over the living room (I'm not allowed to set up
my BBC in a permanent place) and some of the tapes I have seem to be missing
from the emulator pages. I'd really like to transfer them to the PC but the
only programs I can find need a working knowledge of DOS commands (which I
don't have - i.e. I don't understand a word of them). Does anyone know a
simple windows based (preferably) program that would do the job? It would
also enable me to keep my games copied to a CD and in the event that the
tape gets damaged I could just make a new one.
I don't have disc capability on my BBC.
Any suggestions (polite ones) cheerfully received!
Colin Hill
