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
