Re: Need help on dumping System 7.5.3 disk images to Mac LC from PC.

[arthurluna@aol.com (A. Luna)]

Just wanted to say, "Thanks!" to all the knowledgeable individuals who e-mailed
me and replied here on CSA2 with suggestions or solutions to my problem.  CSA2
is an excellent knowledge base.

After much searching and experimenting I found and downloaded the TransMac
program (Acute Systems, www.asy.com).  This software served my needs perfectly
and, in fact, offered the functionality of MacOpener (DataViz, www.dataviz.com)
and Aladdin Expander 5.0 (Aladdin Systems, www.aladdinsys.com) combined.

Now for the *FUN* part - configuring AppleShare for my Apple IIe and Apple
IIgs!
