I think that renaming the Binscii.exe file to binscii.txt (if I remember
what the file you're referring to is for certain) and then dropping it
on ProType will work better.  ProType I think only handles P8 extensions
that it understands like .txt, .shk. .s16 and things like that.  I don't
think .exe is a normal from anything I've read.

PS.  Margaret...does your PowerMac have a floppy drive?  If you list what
files you'd like on a disk, I could probably get them all and create a
Mac DiskCopy image for trying to create the disk on your Mac...it's just
that most PowerMacs seem to have a problem writing to the 800K disks
that the IIGS uses.
