Subject: c128/cpm files on gcr

In an article from William P. Maloney:

WP> I received some CPM files from LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU.  They are
WP>binary-uuencoded files.  I uudecoded them to ????????.LIB files, and
WP>????????.ark files.  I didn't have any trouble de-arcing the 'ark' files,
WP>but can't find any program for the 'lib' files.  Can someone help me out
WP>on this?

I believe .LIB files were use with the ASseMbler/LINK editor.

WP> In fact the index of the CPM/C128 archived files have a number of
WP>tails that are unfamiliar to me e.g., .dzc,.aqm,.rsx,.irv,.rsp, etc....
WP>Also, since I downloaded these files into a GCR CBM formatted disk what do
WP>I have to do to get these on my MFM CPM disk?

dzc is a compressed DOC file (look for UNCR24 or later; handles xqx, xzx, etc),
aqm is compressed ASM file, rsx is CP/M 3.0 Resident EXtension file like DOS
TSR (I think), but I haven't previously seen irv and rsp files.

To move files from GCR to MFM disk, you can use the built in MFM formats for
IBM, Osborne, Kaypro and others or use M.Garamzhegy's J'ggler128 which 
allowed you to format/read/write many other CP/M MFM formats.  Or if you want
MS-DOS MFM, use DOSDISK.  Format the MFM disk first then COPY/PIP the file from
GCR to MFM.
