hi,
CP/M to DOS exchangers as I have seen in my use of CP/M machines
are computer dependent, so what's written on one machine will not/may not
run on another. I have a TRS-80 4P and am capable of reading the
formats of almost any CP/M machine due to the software that was written
for my machine. Another piece of software was written (also computer
dependent) which allows me to go back and forth between CP/M - MSDOS
(several versions) and a TRS-80 operating system in any order.
Off hand CP/M-86 has a conversion program and that was on a Zenith-100
computer, but I don't think that was computer dependent.
There's also one written for the Commodore 128 CP/M which is built into
the computer's CP/M mode, which only allows you to read other CP/M formats
only.
For the generic Commodore there's "Big Blue Reader", which also reads
MSDOS disks according to what I've heard.
Under the Osborne FOG library, there's a program called PCPIP and other
programs which copy between MSDOS and CPM, but I've never really played
with them due to what I had.
By the way, what kind of computer do you have, maybe I could help if I
knew at least that much, or maybe someone else could help, worth a try...
