Bill: Thanks for the come-back. Have found that Rainbow CP/M MultiPlan files, when I send them to the XT, can be read directly by MP 3 without going thru the "Symbolic" transformation. To get to MP-4, however, it is either necessary to do the "Symbolic" bit or to convert from MP-3 to MP-4. (MP-4 screws up the print setup, though.) If anyone needs files converted to IBM-DOS, let me know and I'll work out something. I've found a number of data files that are compatible besides Multiplan: CYMA General Business Accounting and CONDOR Data Base to name two. Also ASCII files from the SELECT wordprocessor. Sure saves a lot of re-entry time. Regards, Trump
