	Yes. Fred Kaal has a great program called [[TiDir]] that allows you to view/extract the contents of emulator files and disks. TiDir works with both V9T9 and PC99 format files/disks. Both MESS and Win994a use V9T9 format and PC99 uses PC99 format. The program even allows you to work with ARK files created by Barry Boone's Archiver.		Yes.

			'''Refer also''' to the article [[TiDir]] with which you can take for example a DV80 TI Writer file from an emulated disk, transfer it to a Windows Text File in a Windows directory and when you have finished editing it, transfer it back to a DV80 file then move the file onto an emulated disk image.


	This is a broad question so let me put some parameters around it. Let's assume that someone is is looking to move a TI type file (text, basic, archive, etc.) to either a v9t9 or pc99 image. PC99 uses the pc99 image, Win994a and Mess use the v9t9 image type file.		This is a broad question so let me put some parameters around it.
