WRONG !!!

    Convert 3200 is a GS/OS based program and uses all system 6 features like
the FST (HFS, MS/DOS...), the memory manager, the tools... It is of course
able to read from Mac or PC format floppies...

    We do not use the QuickDraw II routines (window manager, menu manager...)
but our own 'no tools style' graphic interface.

    The Open and Save dialog box are the standard GS/OS ones.

    We have maried the best of the two worlds...
