Re: Moving files from ProDos to Dos

["Tom Zuchowski" <tzuchow@attglobal.net>]

If I understand you correctly, you are downloading DOS 3.3 files from the
Internet on a PC and using a Mac to transfer them to ProDOS disks for use on
a GS?

If the files are DOS 3.3 disk compressions made with ShrinkIt (end in SDK or
BXY,) then the ProDOS ShrinkIt program can uncompress them to DOS 3.3 disks
once again, and you will need to download a self-extracting copy of 8-bit
ShrinkIt (not GS-ShrinkIt) if you don't have one. If they are DSK files,
then you will need the ProDOS program DSK2FILE to convert the DSK to a real
floppy disk. In both of these cases, you are dealing with files that are
whole-disk images of the original DOS 3.3 floppies.

I am not aware of any DOS 3.3 files available on the Internet in any other
form than the two above.

Just so you know, DOS 3.3 only recognizes 5.25 disk drives. If you want to
run DOS 3.3 programs, you need such a drive on your Apple II.

Please forgive me if I stated obvious things you already know. I just want
to be sure you know the important details.
