     If your transfer procedure moves the files to the GS as type $00, try
this ...

BLOAD TCHANGE.BIN, T$00, A2048

DELETE TCHANGE.BIN

BSAVE TCHANGE.BIN, A2048, L15711


TCHANGE.BIN should be BRUN-able. BRUN TCHANGE.BIN to start the filetype
changer program.

Once TCHANGE.BIN is running, you can exit the program and just SAVE
TYPE.CHANGER to have a BASIC type changer program which you can RUN to start.
