Nope, ProType accesses the files on a Mac HFS/HFS+ disk.  It changes the
filetype on the Mac to the standard used (for those .3 extensions) that
Apple File Sharing uses when it's storing files from an Apple II.

I have been using ProType on my Mac for quite some time to correctly
set the file information for Apple II's and to unbinscii and haven't
ever had any problems.
