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.
