I can't help you about the SYS file conversion, but if you don't
want to type 'brun kermit', try '-kermit'.  '-' is a generic "run"
routine that works on SYS, BIN, and BAS files.

On a similar note, would somebody post a program that writes SYS
files that execute BIN files or both BASIC.SYSTEM and an accompanying
BAS file?
