Subject: Basic tape files to disc - quick and dirty method?

 
I have some tapes with lots of short Basic listings on (20-odd files
per tape) and need to get them transferred to DFS disc for
editing/archiving etc.

They're all just simple Basic files - short listings from a book - but
they'll take forever loading them in and resaving individually.
Unfortunately I don't have any tape-to-disc software handy. Is there a
simple REPEAT-UNTIL loop I can use to replicate picking them off
sequentially and dumping them to a waiting disc in the drive? Sort of
like REPEAT, *TAPE, LOAD"", *DISC, SAVE"", UNTIL FALSE. Not sure how
to handle the 'SAVE' bit as I wouldn't know the filename at that stage
inside the loop and I'd like to keep the original titles.

Any help appreciated.
