I have a person wanting to send me a large amount of text that he has on
a Commadore 8023 system.  I've got a kaypro 4 which can read 30 or 40 
different floppy formats but not Commadore's.

I know nothing at all about Commadores and he knows nothing at all about
modems and file transfers.  I have a modem I can loan him so any of the
following solutions would work:
   1. Find a modem program for his machine and phone the data to me.  He says
   that his BASIC is the same as the 64's but I don't know what is under the
   hood in the 8023 and haven't seen any modem programs go by for it.
   2. Find a way to read his floppies.  A kaypro dealer said it couldn't be 
   done and a Commadore dealer said "whaddaya wanta do that for.."
Any help or hints would be appreciated.
