       MacOpener is one part of Conversions Plus, and available separately.
When installed, it allows you to insert a Mac disk in your PC, and use it
just like a PC disk.  The only occasional problem is with file names longer
than 31 characters on the PC, which won't fit on a Mac.
       
       It's a very robust, easily used (transparent) program.  It actually
got me in trouble once, because I'd been using it for some time when I got
my external Zip disk.  I was surprised that Zip disks seemed to work no
matter what format they were in, and told a number of folks that Zips don't
care.  Oops, it was MacOpener, which knew how to handle the format even
before I had one.
       
       If you want to be able to open files from programs that are not
cross-platform, it's worth it to pop for the complete Conversions Plus,
which will also translate foreign file formats.
