	I tried Dave Wilson's method of transfer and couldn't get it to
	work.

	What I ended up doing was converting Prodos 8 V1.4 with BBB on it
	to a text file using BINSCII and converting Prodos 8 V1.7 with no
	BBB on it also to text.  I then used an editor on my mainframe to
	cut the end part with BBB onto the V1.7, I then unconverted the
	new version and much to my surprise - it worked!  Binscii gave me
	an error on the unconversion because it knew the file was changed,
	but it worked!
