What was he using to transfer the files between the MS-DOS machine and

All the world _is_ binary. Not all of it is ASCII.
Forgive me, it's way past my bedtime.

Dylan: How many years must some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free?
WDG3rd: If they "must" exist until they're "allowed",
they'll never be free.
"CP/M" machine is pretty vague. 8" floppy? 5.25" floppy? 3.5"
floppy?
Sorry, it's for a Kaypro 4, which is 5.25" (i think)
*Which* long filenames? CP/M is 8.3, too!
Sorry again, I am not familiar with CP/M. I was told however that when he
(the one with the Kaypro 4) tried to convert files before, the CP/M <-->
DOS <--> Mac conversion truncated his files, I must have misinterpreted
this to mean filenames :(
