The HP 85 uses LIF, that is why LIFUTIL can read HP 85 disks
There's no option on a 85 to save the program
files in an ASCII format
You have to use the GETSAVE utility that adds the SAVE and GET commands
that use ASCII files.
GETSAVE is a binary utility, so you need a different one depending on
whether you have an HP83/5 or HP86/7. Both versions may be
found at http://www.series80.org/Programs
At the top of that page you can find instructions on how to get the
LIFUTIL software (for those that do not have it) and also instructions
for exchanging programs and data between PCs and HP Series 80 machines
with floppy drives.
