One of my users recently asked:

	... Do you know a way of transferring 
	files (mostly data) from DEC RT11 (RX02) 8" disks
	(SS DD) to 3-1/2" IBM disks (MS-DOS)?

Is anybody on campus able to read RX02 8-inch floppies?  (For that matter,
do you know of anyone *off* campus who can?)  The transfer to MSDOS floppies
we can handle, if need be, but we no longer have any 8-inch floppies.
