Holtz <=> AppleLink PE: Mark Holtz <-* 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!
