- MacSEE 4.0 Shareware Release - 04/13/94
- =========================================
-
- MacSEE is a powerful utility that allows a standard PC to read/write
- Macintosh disks. This include 3.5" 1,44/2.88 Mb high density Macintosh disks,
- CD-ROMs, and Macintosh formatted hard drives (e.g. SyQuest and Bernoulli removables).
- MacSEE gives access to the complete Macintosh file system...the included DOS
- and Windows shareware versions are the same as the full versions with the following
- restrictions:
-
- * Transfer of files is limited to 16K
- * Renaming, deleting, and making/removing folders on Macintosh disks
- is not allowed
- * Formatting will not format, but it will allow to you set up a format
- (so you can see how it works)
- * The Resource Inspector will display resources in a Mac file, but won't
- extract them
-
- The full version allows for all of these disabled features to function
- properly.
-
- (Note: MacSEE can not read low density 800K Mac disks. We have received many
- calls regarding this. It's not possible to read low density Mac disks
- without additional hardware. Sorry!)
-
- Translation Modes
- =================
-
- Once again MacSEE's file translations have been altered. We believe the new
- system will be more flexible and equally as powerful. The standard MacBinary II
- and BinHex translation remain unaltered for those of you using MacSEE to download
- to your PC and copy files to a Mac disk for use on a Mac (that's one good use of
- MacSEE...if you have a Mac at another location you can download those neat
- Mac programs while on your PC and use them when you get to a Mac!).
- For those using MacSEE to transfer data such as text files, pictures, spreadsheets,
- Postscript, and so on read on. Instead of the 'Data File' translation that was introduced
- in MacSEE 3.2 we now have Automatic and Manual translations. Automatic is essentially
- identical to Data File where MacSEE will automatically identify your files and
- move them over to the other platform...Manual allows you to override this and select
- from MacSEE's four basic translations: Data Fork, Resource Fork, Text, and MacPaint/PCX.
- Usually, if the file is not recognized by MacSEE, you'll want to use Data Fork
- translation.
-
- What's New & Bug Fixes
- ======================
- MacSEE for Windows no longer relies on the silly WinASPI drivers that nobody, but Adaptec,
- supports. The drivers are a great idea...but without support they've caused more frustration
- than it was worth. MacSEE for Windows will no longer not recognize ASPI compatible drives
- due to this problem meaning those that have had to use the DOS version because of this can
- now enjoy the benefits of the Windows version.
- MacSEE 4.0 fixes a bug that would occasionally cause MacSEE to cross link files on large
- files when a disk became fragmented. This has been fixed.
- File tagging is now supported allowing you to transfer multiple files in one operation.
- A Resource Inspector allowing you to inspect Macintosh resources and extract their data
- is included. This is a powerful feature and is where much of MacSEE's future development is being
- aimed. For example, the Resource Inspector allows you to move Mac Truetype fonts over to
- your PC and use them. This would not be possible otherwise.
- MacSEE 4.0 now allows for formatting/partitioning of Mac hard disks such as SyQuest
- removables.
