ive been in communication with a lady that has an old kaypro with a lot of
text files on disk she wants to transfer to an IBM for further editing and
safekeeping. i presume i need to cable their serial ports up and transfer that
way, but exactly how? i need some sort of program to send the files on the
kaypro i guess, but have nothing to do it with. if i can do this file
transfer, i'll get two working kaypros, a TI word processor from 1985 and some
NLQ dot matrix printer shipped to me free.

Why not just read the flops directly from the PC?

If the IBM has a 5.25" drive, you would be vastly better off using 22DISK.
