DataViz's Conversion Plus www.dataviz.com/ (http://www.dataviz.com/)

I had occassion to use this nifty piece of software. Brought in a Mac Excel file, a Quicken file and a Claris works file, and converted to Excel and Quicken for Windows without a hitch. It also takes the place of WinZip/UnZip type of utilities. The best feature is that you can insert a Mac floppy into your PC and it'll open it up. Just like that! Grrrreat!

Edit-

Just noticed your system. I'm not familiar with Unix. Wonder if that is a problem. This software does run on NT4.

..and thanks for your vote of support back there.

Thanks Edge. And you're very welcome.
I'll take a look at that site and see what I can find.

Anyone Else???

I agree with Bleeding Edge on Conversion Plus. A good old stable product!
Don't get Mac Opener, it's not as good.
Search for the best price at:

I don't know how many files you are planning to convert. Also, I don't know if your emulation supports writing to IBM disks (like you can on a real Mac). But on a Mac with MS Office 98 you can simply open your document choose "save as..." and from the "what type of document" select Word 6.0/95 (for Windows). Make sure you write it to an IBM disk. Word on the IBM will be able to read it fine (without the need for any conversion software). The same goes for Excel documents.

I do not know where it is, but I know that there are Mac emmulators out there, just open it from there.

cobain1crt--We already have a mac emulator. That's what we're getting rid of. I think we got it figured out already. Thanks anyway.
