I am trying to use the SuperDrive on my IIsi to receive files from an MS-DOS disk using the Apple File Exchange. I am creating my MS-DOS disks on a SparcStation 1 using mtools. I am having very little luck. In the past, I was able to successfully copy only text files; other files could not be understood by unstuffit on the Mac. Now, I don't seem to be able to copy even text files. There seems to be a problem with linefeeds and carriage returns, but I can't figure out the right way to do this using the File Exchange; maybe I'm not setting up the disks right with the Sparc. Specifically, I would like to transport .sit and .hqx files from archives. I have tried using mcvert to convert .sit files to .hqx files, but, as I said, I cannot even convert the text files to using the File Exchange. - Gil Neiger gil@cc.gatech.edu
