I really thought Simon would have jumped in by now.I was wondering if you could get a serial cable and connect the mac to the //gs and us localtalk.The mac can read the PC disk as a PC disk and won't try to fork it up.Perhaps you could then localtalk it to the //gs. If there is still a filetype problem a type changer program should work since no forks are involved.
Further, ShrinkIt is insensitive to file "type" as long as the file itself is an archive. (Shrinkit can be requested to "show all" files to select, regardless of "type".) The only stopper is forked files... UNFORKIT is a relatively short Applesoft program which might be typed into the IIgs as a last resort. It can (clumsily, but effectively) remove forks from files. -michael Music synthesis for 8-bit Apple II's!
