For 100+ cp/m formats and ms/dos formats, there are format-to-format copy programs. Specifically for the Kaypro, Plu*Perfect Systems has MULTICOPY, which runs on Kaypros with a TurboRom. It supports direct use of foreign formats as well as file-copying capability. UniForm and MediaMaster are other file-copy utilities. But for Apple <--> Kaypro, the best thing to do is hook up the two machines with communications software and upload/download the files. You'll need one communications program for each machine -- eg MEX for Kaypro, AsciiExpress for Apple. --bridger
