As I recall, I saw a utility that did this.  It hink it was specifically created
for this problem with Macs.  I don't remember if it was a desktop program, or a
ProDOS program, but I do remember seeing it.

Oh, yes... the name of the program was called Stripper, I believe.  I have no
idea where to find it, tho.  Maybe Ground or Caltech...?
