I suggest that if you still have your CPM machine up and running, why not use a communication program to do the transfer. More than likely it will be easiler than getting another piece of software and it should be fairly quick. Many CPM boxes will allow you to run the comm port a 9600 or 19200 (of course KAYPROs are the exception). I've used this approach for years and I've been very successful at it. Rarely have I not been able to move files from one machine to another. Now if your CPM box nolonger work
s, than try the software approach but if you want something quick and dirty use a communication program.
