Elk To PC?

Our office uses a PC clone with MS Works software, for which I wrote an application. My problem is that the instructions were done at home in View and I want to be able to put them on disk with the application. Hunting through my back issues of Acorn User, I found a reference (February 1989) to a program DOScopy which allows a Beeb to read and write MS DOS disks. Pres say their ADI can't cope with MS Dos.

Have any of your members used this or similar programs, and with what degree of success? The other alternatives are to take my outfit to work and use a serial link, or try to persuade my local Acorn dealer to do a copy using one of his Arcs and a PC emulator.
