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

Trump, Great! As I mentioned in another message, I'm not using Multiplan myself, but I'm glad to hear of it's compatability. That kind of information is always helpful to everyone here. Thanks to for the conversion offer. You never know when that can come in handy. Bill
