A similar program is MacOpener (about $60 US) by DataViz (http://www.dataviz.com) or Conversions Plus (which contains MacOpener as part of the package). This is what we use in our facility on our PCs. Like MacDrive, it's also integrated into Windows explorer and desktop. When you open a Mac floppy, ZIP, JAZ, CD, or even a Mac external hard drive (if you really wanted to have such a thing on your PC) the window pops up as usual, except the word (Mac) is included in the title bar to let you know that you're looking at Mac-formatted media. It also formats, copies, etc. Mac media. It runs under Win95/98 and NT. Combine something like MacOpener or MacDrive with PC MacLAN (http://www.miramarsys.com) (Appletalk for PC's), and you've got a fully bilingual PC that can do everything but run Mac software! --Janet At 12:03 PM 3/11/99 +0000, thus did you send forth: > >I thought I would give my 2(pence/cents etc.) to this.
