Re: Getting files from a pc => mac => IIGS and/or a IIe
Steve,
Do you have DISK COPY on your mac and Stuff it Expander? If so
you can download the .sit file on my site (see address) decompress the
file on the Mac then use disk copy to use the disk image I made that
has both 8 bit Shrinkit and GS shrinkit on it. I've also put just
the disk image up there just incase you didn't have stuff it expander
on your mac. However I haven't tested what happens if you download the
image on a PC then take it over to a Mac. I'm not sure if DISK COPY
will still be able to use the image file.

You should have a copy of DISK COPY on your System 7.5.x CD. If
you need help using DISK COPY just let me know.
