I remember some of those,  too,  and in fact had some in the files section of 
my bbs.  But I also remember stuff that would deal with "foreign" formats,  
in particular there was "Media Master" and "Uniform".  The former was simply 
a file transfer program,  while the latter would actually "mount" a foreign 
format disk under an otherwise unused drive letter,  both of which I had 
occasion to use under CP/M.  I'm pretty sure that at least MM was available 
under DOS as well,  dunno about Uniform.
