: OK, I have a number of .dsk images (as used in WinApple and other

: I tried going the image->Macintosh->File Exchange onto a

: Exchange (3.0.1) insists on setting the Prodos filetype on all of the
: copied files to $00. These files are useless on the Apple II (cannot be
: read, deleted, or otherwise manipulated).
:
: I tried Protype (1.1) and changing the file types on the mac with

Here's a suggestion. Make a ProDOS partition on your
Mac hard drive. Use Ciderpress to make a 1.44MB ProDOS
disk, and copy DiskMaker8 and disk images to it. Take
the disk to your Mac and copy DiskMaker8 and the images
to the ProDOS partition and then back to a 800K disk
with DiskMaker8 on it. Take that to your IIgs, and make
the disks from that using DiskMaker8. This should eliminate
the FORKing and Filetype problems.
