I haven't tried swapping programs between the old and new style
of datasette, but I have tried copying tapes that were made with
my old style datasette on my stereo system.  I was quite surprized
when the copied programs worked perfectly, particularly after hearing
in this newsgroup that it didn't work..?

I wonder if individuals are having problems copying certain kinds of
programs, such as those that consist only of a system call, or those
that are primarily machine language but start out in BASIC (eg. WEDGE).
I have a copy of WEDGE, DIR, and a couple other disk utilities on every
disk I have ever formatted.  It really makes things easier.  While I
won't give you copies of any of CBM's software, I will tell you how to
make extra copies if you already own the software (assuming you don't
already know how...)

And now for another subject...   I am curious as to what backup
procedures are being used by various uComputer users.  Do you make
backup floppies, tapes, or both?  How do you copy data files between
tape and disk or disk and disk?  Do you create a separate program for
each data file format, or do all your data files follow a particular
format?
