Transfer files to/from N* CPM image?

[allison]

Have you considered using the serial line to a PC as terminal (I prefer 
Procomm or VTcom)
and transfering an ascii file of a simple file transfer utility using 
PIP as in PIP foo.txt=con:?

If you can pip text across you can pip a source for  simple transfer 
utility and do it via serial
line rather than trying to create disks.
