They are quite different things. File Genie is a programmable file conversion system that lets you convert files in one format to another e.g. a data base from some obsure program to say DBase. File Genie can not read alien disks made on non PC/MS-DOS disks. Uniform can, and thats all it does. It lets you copy files to and from CP/M disks on your PC. It does not convert or modify them in any way apart from that. By the way, there are other programs that do the same thing, Xenocopy for CP/M <--> MS-DOS, PC Cross-Zap for TRS-80 <--> MS-DOS, Matchpoint PC for Apple <--> PC etc., etc. Mike Gingell ...decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!mjg
