No, I see it as possibly a simpler way to back up, soon to degenerate, old programs to a CD and to load again. I just transmit, burn, play on CD player back into computer, save to a new disk the program/disk that has degenerated beyond use. To transmit a program via modem to microphone input into a PowerMac to burn into CD seems easier to me than dealing with 400K disks and 800K disks in the newer disk drives. I don't have to find compatible OS that can "read" the program and then burn it to CD. By using programming converted to sound, the computer burning the CD only has to recognize the sounds - not have to be able to "understand" the program. If I can input it back from audio to the computer with the originating OS, then it should be able to process the audio back into the program and save it back onto an undamaged disk. I ask if it can be done. There are experts on this list who know either that it is not possible or know what I need to do to do it. Does that help explain why? I don't want to do it just to do it.
