I am not sure this is the right newsgroup, so I apologize if this is the 
wrong place. Anyway, I have a desparate need to find out the directory
structure and/or code set used on the 8" diskettes used by the Xerox 850
word processor. I need to get a bunch of files off these things, and Xerox
has shut down the phone support for the product. I have used another machine
to read the diskettes, and have figured out part of the organization, but
I would feel a whole lot better if I knew for sure how the diskettes were 
layed out. If any Xerox folks are out there - I'd be perfectly happy to
get this info through normal channels, if I knew what the normal channels
were. The Columbus offices of Xerox didn't even know who I should call.
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
