Subject: Conversion of CP/M files to MS-DOS

I have very recently used a software package called Xeno Copy (version 2.0)
which allows the user to read CP/M files on an MS-DOS drive and transfer
them toan MS-DOS formatted diskette. (It also allows a user to format a
diskette
for CP/M and write files to a CP/M formatted diskette). I borrowed the
package  from the campus Computing Facility and successfully used it to
transfer CP/M
WordStar files onto a MS-DOS disk. Once transferred, I used a package called
PerfectExchange to translate the files from WordStar into WordPerfect 5.0.
It   all worked without a hitch (amazing when you think of the difficulties to
overcome)! 

Xeno Copy was developed by a company in Los Angeles called Vertex Systems.
     Version 3.0 was released (I know since the flier for this was included
with the documentation the Computing Facility had for their version 2.0).
I called
the number in the documentation, but it is now a number for a private residence.There
is no number for Vertex Systems in the LA Directory, nor could I find a
company listing in computer software guides. (I did track down a software      
development company in Pennsylvania called Vertex Systems -- but it has nothing
to do with the LA Company).

Does anyone know if the company went out of business? Was the copyright
assigned to another company? Is it being distributed under another name?

Are there similar packages for CP/M to MS-DOS migration on the market? Can
anyone provide names, vendors?

This saves a BUNDLE on the costs for diskette conversion!

I would appreciate answers to be posted directly to my INTERNET address. I will
share the information in a single post to this board late
board later.

Thanks.
