Mac-In-DOS is a clumsy, ugly program which costs about $129 retail and can 
only format Mac-format disks (not all media, just floppies, I think) and 
copy files.  They use a slightly more convenient, non-standard method for 
storing resource and finder data, but ARDI are working on a better method, I 
think (they're captive to a horrendous Apple standard)(the "horrendous" was 
to apply only to "standard", not "Apple" as well, which is far worse a 
corporate disaster than "horrendous" could hope to capture).  It does NO 
software emulation AT ALL.  In fact, Executor is even better at copying 
files for me, because it understands Win95 filenames and Mac-In-DOS, last I 
checked, does not.
