Message-ID: <1048@sunybcs.UUCP> Date: Fri, 18-Jan-85 23:23:38 EST Article-I.D.: sunybcs.1048 Posted: Fri Jan 18 23:23:38 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 19-Jan-85 04:28:08 EST Distribution: net Organization: State University of New York @ Buffalo,NY Lines: 27 We have an IBM 5120 (an ancient beast), on which we currently use it for sales order entry, invoicing, and other connected programs. We have all our customer data files on a single disk (with a capacity of approximately 700K), on which we have run out of room. We plan on purchasing an IBM computer with a hard drive in order to put our files onto that. My questions: How can I go about transfering the files from the 5120 (which has 8 inch floppies), over to the PC's hard drive. All of our programs are written in some sort of interpreted basic. (not microsoft). How can I convert these over to microsoft? Please submit any responses via mail. -- ...Tim Thomas ...{burdvax, rocksvax, bbncca, decvax, dual, rocksanne, watmath}!sunybcs!ugthomas "Damnit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a _________!"
