Subject: Wish, wish *** CP/M KERMIT ***

I've got an ageing s100 bus computer with two 8" disk drives and a 
terribly buggie CPM operating system.   The darned thing's pretty fussy,
but I bought it eternities ago (used, my first computer), and I'm
kinda fond of it -- especially since I used it to write the guts of a book. 

Now, I find myself with a wondrously more reliable, nicer-to-use 
HP series 150 type II, with two 3 1/2" micro-floppy disk drives, and MS-DOS 
operating system to use at home.  You guessed it:  I'd like to transfer 
all the material stored on my 8" diskettes onto my new system.

So far, with the help of techie friends, I've succeeded in reading the 
8" diskettes onto my HP screen, but not capturing the data onto the 3 1/2" 
media.  I'm having my RS-232 cable and port checked to verify that the 
protocols are compatible.  But once that's done, I'll need a CPM version 
of **** KERMIT ***** to send the data files over the line 
from CPMland to MS-DOSdom.

Is there any kind soul out there (froggie or prince(ss)) who might have 
a CPM version of kermit? (I'd prefer 8" diskette version, but could have any 
CPM version read onto 8" diskette, if need be.)

Thanks a 'pond-ful' for your help!!
