Abstract 

          CONVERT  and  CONVERT2  can  be  used to convert most of the
          MS-DOS type files on the  84B  DECUS  tape  [240,*]  into  a
          format  that can be transferred to an MS-DOS type of machine
          via KERMIT.  The programs translate the files into  a  block
          format removing all imbedded record data structures.  

	[Editor's note: This operation can be avoided by setting PDP11
	or VAX Kermit into SET FILE TYPE BINARY mode before putting
	into SERVER mode for transfer to an MSDOS machine. Kermit will
	then strip all the record structures automatically. In most
	cases this happens even if you DON'T tell Kermit to go into
	binary mode. However, these programs can be useful for converting
	files received in BINARY mode into image files (i.e. task image
	type).]
