- Much better than Apple FIle Exchange, and far easier to use is
- PC Exchange, which installs as an extension to the system, and allows
- your Mac to read PC disks "transparently". The only way you'll know
- the disk is in PC format is that its desktop Icon has PC written on it.
- The product costs around 50 pounds here in UK, I believe it will be bundled
- in the near future.
