(It also allows a user to format a diskette for CP/M and write files to a CP/M formatted diskette). I borrowed the package from the campus Computing Facility and successfully used it to transfer CP/M WordStar files onto a MS-DOS disk. Once transferred, I used a package called PerfectExchange to translate the files from WordStar into WordPerfect 5.0. It all worked without a hitch (amazing when you think of the difficulties to overcome)! Xeno Copy was developed by a company in Los Angeles called Vertex Systems. Version 3.0 was released (I know since the flier for this was included with the documentation the Computing Facility had for their version 2.0). I called the number in the documentation, but it is now a number for a private residence.There is no number for Vertex Systems in the LA Directory, nor could I find a company listing in computer software guides. (I did track down a software development company in Pennsylvania called Vertex Systems -- but it has nothing to do with the LA Company). Does anyone know if the company went out of business? Was the copyright assigned to another company? Is it being distributed under another name? Are there similar packages for CP/M to MS-DOS migration on the market? Can anyone provide names, vendors? This saves a BUNDLE on the costs for diskette conversion! I would appreciate answers to be posted directly to my INTERNET address. I will share the information in a single post to this board late board later. Thanks. A D D A A A Thanks. Sorry, but I am totally unfamiliar with the vi editor I am in -- get me back to emacs.
