Oh, I don't know.  I think the folks who might bring us the magic of the
emulator have a little more magic up their sleeves.  I guess Allegro
announced a product at HPW that allows one to not only restore MPE tapes to
non-MPE machines but it has a mapper to turn the binary data into CSV, TXT,
or XML files.  "Insanely cool", one might say.
