Reverse that !"- Willy Wonka There was a programme published in Australia many years ago called PC- ALIEN which read a huge variety of CP/M 5.25" diskette formats, but it was not public domain. So try the 22dsk140... method, and as another respondent has mentioned, attempt to start from a known base (ASCII is good). If you need further info on the PC-ALIEN pgm, e-mail me, but I think the company is now long-since dead. Cheers from Oz, Denis
