Subject:TRS-80/PC/Mac Conversion Portocol From:Paul Trummel <trummel -at- U -dot- WASHINGTON -dot- EDU> Date:Thu, 27 Jan 1994 08:43:39 -0800
Many writers have large volumes of data on TRS-80 diskettes that
they have probably abandoned through lack of a means of conversion.
However, TRS-80 data (including SuperScripsit and BASIC programs)
converts easily to PC or Macintosh compatible diskettes using a
special program. This program can convert the data, retain format
codes, and transfer it to PC and MAC compatible diskettes or
ASCII for Internet transmission. The program accommodates
versions: TRSDOS 1.2/1.3, TRSDOS 6.2*, LDOS 5.3*, DOSPLUS,
NEWDOS/80*, and MultiDOS.
*Also earlier versions.
