MacSEE V2.2 for DOS and Windows REEVEsoft P.O. Box 1884 Clemson, SC 29633 (803)654-7378 Compuserve 71521,2200 * GEnie REEVE.SOFT MacSEE is a utility that will allow you to read/write Macintosh format diskettes on your PC. This includes 1.44 MB High Density Macintosh diskettes and Macintosh hard disks including SyQuest removable hard drives formatted on a Mac. It does not include 800K Mac disks as a standard PC floppy drive can't make heads or tails of what is written on those disks. Please note that this unregistered version 2.2 is being released into Shareware as a demonstration version. It adds bug fixes and features to version 2.1 (also shareware) and may be freely distributed provided that all files included remain intact and unmodified. If you find this utility of use to you then you are required to either: 1) Register this package with REEVEsoft by sending a $35.00 registration fee to us at the above address. In return you will receive the registered version of this product along with some of our other shareware programs. 2) or purchase the commercial version 3.0 of MacSEE which includes complete file management functions such as rename, delete, create folder, and format disk. MacSEE 3.0 also offers more comprehensive file translation modes and product support. The commercial version retails for $79.95 and it available NOW. Order by sending a check, money order, or call for CODs. If you do not find MacSEE to be useful then please remove it from your system. Using MacSEE for DOS - After loading MacSEE you will be presented by a title screen notifying you about registration requirements. Press any key as you read this information. Once completed any drives that can support Mac disks (including hard drives with Mac disks present) will be available. Selections of drives and folders are made with the arrow keys and RETURN or ENTER to indicate that the selected item is correct. Mac files will be listed in the left window and PC files will be listed in the right window. To transfer a file from one side to the other just highlight that file (use the arrow keys to navigate through all the files) and press ENTER or RETURN. Depending upon the direction you are transferring the file a translation file will be created and then the file will be copied to the other side (or vice versa). When tranferring a file an intermediate file is created for translation purposes. It is therefore necessary to have enough disk space available in the hard disk directory MacSEE was loaded from to support this translation file. Translation modes are selected by pressing T for Translation. This Shareware version only supports 2 modes of translation. MacBinary II and Data. MacBinary II is used to keep Mac pertinent information intact within the file (use it if you obtain a file from an on-line service while using a PC and then you want to transfer it to a Mac disk to use), or data (use this if you want the file to make some degree of sense on the PC side of things...e.g. pictures, audio files...etc). Note: In order to perform file translation an intermediate file is created in the directory that MacSEE was loaded from. Consequently, when transferring a file from the Macintosh to the PC you need roughly double the size of the file worth of free space on your hard disk. Using MacSEE for Windows - After loading MacSEE, you will be presented by a title screen notifying you about registration requirements. Click on Agree or OK as you read this information and once completed any drives that can support Mac disks (including hard drives with Mac disks present) will be available. Selections of drives and folders are made by clicking on them with the mouse cursor. Double-clicking will open volumes, directories, and take you to previous directories. Mac files will be listed in the left window and PC files will be listed in the right window. To transfer a file from one side to the other just highlight that file (use the arrow keys to navigate through all the files) and click >> Copy >> to transfer to the PC or << Copy << to transfer to the Macintosh (note the arrows are used as directional indicators). Translation modes are selected by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the ComboBox above the Quit button. This shareware version only supports 2 modes of translation. MacBinary II and Data. MacBinary II is used to keep Mac pertinent information intact within the file (use it if you obtain a file from an on-line service while using a PC and then you want to transfer it to a Mac disk to use), or data (use this if you want the file to make some degree of sense on the PC side of things...e.g. pictures, audio files...etc). Disclaimer - Reading from Mac disks shouldn't cause any problems, but writing is a bit different. We've emulated how a Mac writes to a Mac disk as closely as possible in this shareware version. Please note that we take no responsibility in the event of something going awry while using this software. This is part of the cause for releasing a commercial version of this program. This will hopefully give us the financial means to support this software and keep our customers informed of new upgrades. There will be no upgrades to this shareware version, so if you like it then please consider MacSEE 3.0. MacSEE 3.0 - As indicated MacSEE 3.0 (a commercial version of MacSEE) is now available. It retails for $79.95. If you've already registered a copy of MacSEE OR own another Mac to DOS transfer utility then please contact us about special upgrade pricing. MacSEE 3.0 supports file deletion, renaming, creating folders, and formatting Mac disks. It supports more file translation modes including Text and MacPaint<->PCX and it fixes some of the limitations set within the Shareware versions of MacSEE. Included are both DOS and Windows versions in one package. To order call (803) 654-7378 for C.O.D. or send a check/money order in U.S. funds to the address above.
