In you post #101 you implied that the MEM / DMP files as distributed, conform to TEXT files as documented in the 71B manuals however the manual reference you quoted only mentions the existence of TEXT files and does not go into details about the layout of records in the file, but I know from my experience DOS text files are not the same 71B TEXT files and conversion is required.

Yeah, I misspoke. I think we agree that the MEM format files need to be converted to HP71 TEXT (LIF1) when they're copied to LIF media. If you think the files should be distributed in a different format, then I'd be interested in your suggestions.
