Does anybody know if there is a PD utility for the GS that allows it to read Macintosh format disks and copy files over to Prodos? Or if there is a utility for the Mac, that allows it to read Prodos files. Any help would be appreciated. -tb "If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, why practice?"

Apple now includes a utility on the Macintosh System Utilities disks that will allow that type of conversion. It can transfer data between Macintosh, ProDOS (on 3.5 disks) and MS-DOS (using a PC-drive on the Mac). In addition, you can install translators that can perform some sort of data massage to put your information into some useful form (e.g. convert an AppleWorks file into one that can be read from Microsoft Works on the Mac). Oh, almost forgot...this program is called Apple File Exchange -- Keith Rollin amdahl\ Sales Technical Support pyramid!sun !apple!keith Apple Computer decwrl/ Disclaimer: I read this board for fun, not profit.

In addition to the ?Apple File Converter? utility apparently supplied by Apple with recent Macs (described in a recent article), which I have never tried, theris a stand-alone program, ProLink (ALSoft, Inc., P.O. Box 927, Spring TX, 77383-0927. Tel:713-353-44090) that converts between *text* files on Apple ][x (i.e., any Apple ][ that can run 3.5 inch drive) and Mac 512/512E/+ (may also work on SE or II). Mac must have one 800K drive. Apple disks must be 800K; Mac disks can be 400K or 800K. If I can find a copy of Apple's program, I'll try it and post comparison. ****DISCLAMER: My comments, etc., are my own shakey opinions ******** | Bruce P.
