	Yours is the second message I've seen jumping to this conclusion.
There are a number of other companies that market (legitimate) lookalikes
of Microsoft's Softcard. What software comes with them likely varies
a lot. This person may well have purchased a card that included CP/M,
but not a file conversion program. I see no reason to assume piracy.
