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. - From the Crow's Nest - Kenn Barry NASA-Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USENET: {dual,hao,menlo70,hplabs}!ames!barry SOURCE: ST7891
