[ Editor's Note:
[
[ Giebler's products provide tools for converting one music
[ file format to another. Its the most comprehensive list of
[ such software I've seen. Its products can be used to
[ make backup copies of music disks.
[
[ If the objective is to make "backups" rather than to manupulate
[ the music by converting to a format suitable for your favorite
[ music editing program, it may be sufficient to make a "sector
[ copy" of the disk in question. The destination diskette must
[ be the same size (700k or 1.4 meg), and must be pre-formatted,
[ and must be error free. Then use the DOS diskcopy command:
[
[ diskcopy a: a:
[
[ Its advisable to have the "source" disk write protected!
