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.
Other Notes & Ordering Information
