   C= SEQ Files to DOS .TXT   
   02 Jan 18 15:32:00   
   
   From: nospam.Ed.Vance@f1.n770.z2421.fidonet.org   
      
   I have used the MSDOS <-> 64 (MSDOS64) Program by M. Garamszeghy   
   when I wanted to be able to put a SEQ file I made on the   
   Commodore 64 PC into a ASCII .TXT file I could use on a computer   
   that has a Windows OS on it.   
      
   I use a 3-1/2" 2S/2D disk formatted for MS-DOS 720 KB and a   
   C= 1581 Drive to put the .TXT file(s) on the disk.   
      
   I've found it fine to occasionally convert a C= SEQ file to a   
   .TXT file but it only allows "One File" to be Transformed at a   
   time.    It doesn't have a "Bulk" selection feature.   
      
   MSDOS64 takes a long time to Read and Write one file and it   
   would be a real long time if I tried using it for over 75 files.   
      
   I thought if I used WINVICE 3.1 it would be able to help Me do   
   what I want to do but I can't see anywhere in the Manual about   
   it being able to read a SEQ file.   
      
   The Manual talks about Reading disks converted to D64, D71, D81.   
      
   If I converted the 1581 disk with the SEQ files to a D81 disk   
   would I be able to use WINVICE's x64.exe program to Read those   
   SEQ files and Save them to the Windows XP computer I use?   
      
   I have read about D64 but never was interested in doing that to   
   any of my 1541 disks (or D81 to my 1581 disks).   
      
   Is there another Commodore 64 Program I could use?   
   (I guess I ought to look at Zimmers after writing this)   ;-)   
      
   Thanks for reading (and Helping).
