Hi,

so this means that it would be possible to write a program to convert 
dpx-1 to EII banks from Emulator DPX disks?
For me this would be perfect :).

Including DPX-1 in EMXP is a great idea. For me this is the missing 
link since I have a lot of DPX library disk.
I could try to make this conversion software but I have too little 
information about the formats. I am really interested in information 
about the EII file format.

Good luck for your other projects!
Keep it up!

Cheers
