- 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
