Abstract
.b
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.
.b
[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).]
