So are you saying that to be able to use ADTPro I'm going to have to
use MacADT first to transfer the  ADTPro disk to my Apple //e?

Of course I guess I shouldn't complain, until I ran across MacADT, when
I downloaded everything from Asimov, and then ADTPro, through
references to it here, I thought I was going to have to take my //e
next door to my neighbors house and hook it up to his PC to use ADT to
transfer all the disk images I've downloaded from the web to my Apple
//e. At least now I can just hook the //e up to my Mac Mini and start
transferring stuff, that is after I've bought enought 5.25 disks to put
everything on.

Looking forward to running Flight Simulator 2 and other old games on
the //e again in the near future.

Thanks,
Dean
