Subject: atari <--> cpm question

It is possible to make CP/M readable files with an atari computer and
disk drive, or alternately, to read an atari disk with a CP/M system,
both without hardware modifications?  Are the problems physical
incompatability, or can they be bypassed with low-level software
mucking about?  (Both use soft-sectored 5 1/4 disks.)

I have an atari 800 with an atari 810 and astra 1620 disk drives and
Jack Palevich's "Chamelon" terminal program, and want to copy some of
the archived public-domain CP/M software and send it to my younger
brother, who uses a CP/M 2.2 based computer.  Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'm not on the info-cpm list, so any cp/m people, please respond
directly to me.  Thanks.
