They are data transfer tools. Well, they sort of emulate the floppy (or tape) drivers of those respective OS's. :) What I wanted is a category for "support of other OS's" stuff. And "emulators" was the closest name we got. * Now that's a name - I was trying to come up with something but couldn't :-) * * What about making a dir data-transfer and put cpm, hfs, mtools and vmsbackup * there and award bill with the name-of-the-day? Umm, I'm not sure about this. IMO, data-transfer will have to include kermit, rzsz and stuff too. Satoshi
