Subject: The easiest way to convert formats

Hello.

May I suggest that the easiest way to convert formats (I do it quite
often) is to execute the job on one of those PC's which are anyway
idle anywhere.  There is a program at the Simtel PC archive and its
replica named 22DSK that does it splendidly. It reads/write just about
any format from ready made tables, and if you have one very strange
format you can expand the table for your case. It won't work with hard
sectored diskettes nor with diskettes written with the Motorola
controller chip found on the old timer Commodore C-64 or Apples.

I also have the Media Master package on CP/M, which costed me some
money, but I never use it, as it is so more convenient to transit on
a PC with 22DSK.

Regards - Jacques
