Re: Reading ProDOS disks on a Mac

By now there have been numerous answers to this question, so I will not 
take up space and time quoting all of them. There is another solution 
that I did not see mentioned.

A wonderful program, called "MacLink Plus", by DataViz, can translate 
between a great many program formats and between several operating systems.

For example, I received a file which was created by WordPerfect on a Mac. 
I used MLP to translate the file to a ProDOS disk in AppelWorks WP 
format. When I tested the file on my IIe, not only was AppleWorks able to 
read the document but page layout (margin changes,spacing changes, etc) info 
was preserved.

I have not tried it yet, but I suspect that the program would translate 
between a "teach text" file (actually a downloaded Apple II binhex file) 
and a ProDOS file.
