I have several different applications where I would like to read or write
simple ascii files from msdos or pcdos floppies on my Kaypro 4. A format
utility that came with the Kaypro allows me to write to a VT180 disk which
I can read on the DEC Rainbow. The Rainbow has a program to read the CPM
file over to MSDOS. The process does not work the other direction so most
transfers have been via modem.
The Kaypro program also lists a few IBM formats but wouldn't they be a CPM
format and not PCDOS. Now I need to get documents to and from an IBM PC
that I do not have access to. I only get the floppies. Does anyone have a
conversion program or any other suggestions?

There is a commercially available program titled UNIFORM which
allows CP/M machines to read other disk formats, to include
MSDOS.
Sounds like this would be "just the ticket."
Good luck...

Yes, Call Intersecting Concepts @ 805-373-3900
They have Media Master versions for both the
Rainbow and the Kaypro, and Media Master Plus
for the PC (+clone). I do not follow where
you are going to/from so I can not say which
is the best one for you to buy.
But all of them read/write/format disks for
'foreign' machines. The exact # of formats
depends on physical limits of the machine's
drives (ie can not make DS disks on Rainbow)
Pleas email me if you need more assistance.

I don't know if these will work on a Kaypro, but they are free. There
are some requirements on how your system accesses your drive, but these
are described in the provided documentation.
There is also a C128 version in PD:RDMS233C.LBR. It works
very well.
good luck
