I should note that BHEAD.COM is quite quick and accepts commandline args so 
can be used non-intercatively with a file list in conjunction with 
SUBMIT.COM to do multiple files.

The other thing that I should note is the text file format that CP/M uses is 
of course cr/lf pairs for eol. If the text file being transferred is already 
a CP/M text file it should be placed on the DOS 3.3 disk as a binary file 
and treated as a binary file.

Last, do yourself a favour when you use APDOS to transfer .COM files as .BIN 
files and .C source files as .TXT files. That way it is a little neater for 
you to ERA the transferred file after using BHEAD to specify the output as 
.COM or .C.

eg. when using APDOS

BHEAD.BIN=BHEAD.COM
BHEAD.TXT=BHEAD.C

eg. when using BHEAD.COM

BHEAD BHEAD.BIN BHEAD.COM
ERA BHEAD.BIN
BHEAD BHEAD.TXT BHEAD.C
ERA BHEAD.C

Etc.

Have Fun!
