No, I was just pointing out to Roy that Chameleon could move _files_
from one file system to another, which it what the original poster
needs, rather than just copy the 400K 3.5" Pascal disk to another
400K 3.5" Pascal disk. ;-)
But, since you ask, I _have_ looked it up, and my memory was correct.
Chameleon, by Ewan Wannop, can copy files between Pascal, ProDOS,
CP/M, and DOS 3.3 disks. A pretty nice repertoire.
