Frequently Asked Question - Copying files DOS < = > CP/M

There are two excellent DOS programs to Format CP/M disks and copy files
to/from these disk(s) and your DOS system.

The first is 22DISK.  I may be found on your local BBS as 22DSKxxx.???
xxx is the version and ??? the archive type.  I personally use it all
the time.  And it works great.

There are two things the user should be aware of:

	1. When files are copied from CP/M to DOS the utility
	   renames all .COM files to .CPM    This is done because
           the matching utility 22NICE, a CP/M emulator runs CP/M-86
	   and uses .CMD files.  So if your using regular CP/M just
           rename the files.

	2. IT WILL NOT work with Hard-Sectored or GCR (Apple or Commodore)
           disks at all.  Only MFM-Formatted CP/M disks.

The second method is UNIFORM-PC.  I also use it and have found it an
excellent utility.  Uniform requires the loading of a .SYS to work.

I know there are several other programs to do these functions, but I
do not know their names.

I hope this FAQ is useful - corrections/additions are welcomed.
