I have suggested the below to several other users before. Here's what you
do; go to my web page (kellys.home.dyndns.org) and download the
ProDOSifier program. Decompress it and drop your files on the application.
Click Individually, and type in the file types and aux types of each of
the files as you are prompted to enter them. They can be entered as
decimal numbers, hexadecimal numbers starting with $, or a 3-letter
mneumonic (sp?) for the file type.
