Hi Paul,
Uniform-PC from MicroSolutions, 132 W. Lincoln Hwy. DeKalb, IL 60115,
(815) 756 3411 is a program that allows you converting files from a bunch of
strange formats to MSDos and back (at least 150 diff. formats).
You have to load a special device driver and then you start a program where you
can choose the format.
In the version I have (2.12) your machine is not supported, but there might be
a newer update that solves your problem.
I tried to get infos from MicroSolutions, they sent me an address of the Swiss
distributor, but he does not support this product.
So I would appreciate getting an answer, whether it is worthwhile to get
an update. It's such a hassel for me to reach them over the ocean (time diff.).
