I see what you mean about the S type file. Copy ][+ and Apple's SU copy

If one were really curious to see what is in the files I think one of
my old disk editor programs will change the file type to something
else, like B.  Then you could copy it and get a nice hex dump with
ECP-8.  But, I suspect it is just pointers to pointers to pointers.  I
did look at a hex dump of the Lisp executable hoping to see the names
of intrinsic commands but they are not stored as ASCII strings.  I
tried running Lisp under ProDOS and it bombs.

Of course, the big question:  what to do with it? :)


Best to change it to a TXT file, since that won't result in the first
four bytes being interpreted as address and length.

Most disk utilities will allow any type of file to be examined in
hex format.
