Subject: [*] ][2Mac v1.2.3

A new version of ][2Mac has been released recently and can be downloaded
from my homepage http://www.caiw.nl/~adam

][2Mac is a set of 3 applications, 1 for the Mac and 2 for the Apple-][,
that allow you to backup and restore Apple-][ floppies to/from a Mac.
The floppy-image is stored on the Mac in a format that is recognized by
IIe, the Apple //e emulator for the Mac, written by Victor and Vincent Tan
(see: http://www-personal.usyd.edu.au/~vtan/sw/index.html).

One of the users of ][2Mac even reported, that he has successfully
transferred DOS 3.3-, ProDOS- as well as Pascal-formatted disks from
his Apple //e to his Mac, and that he is using the diskimages now
on his Mac, in the IIgs emulator called 'Bernie ][ the Rescue'
(see: http://www.magnet.ch/emutech/Bernie/).

Also... ][2Mac enables you to use a Macintosh to send out and receive
Apple-][-disks to and from your friends over the internet...

12-aug-1998, v1.2.3
-Fixed a problem that made the first backup after an attempt to backup
  a copy-protected floppy unsuccessfull
-The Apple-][ now stops sending when a disk-full occurs on the Mac-side
-AL=2 (in line 20) now sends all sectors of a 35-track floppy, simply
  skipping the bad sectors (those that result in I/O-errors)
-Implemented a fix that allows you to define how often disk-read-errors
  will be retried. To do this use the RM (RetryMaximum) variable in line 20.
  The default number of retries is now defined to be 1, which should be OK.
