- *sigh* Don't you just hate it when people don't read the message they are
- replying to? What I think this person was looking for was a program to
- read OS9 disks on a PC *NOT* PC disks under OS9. This has to be the
- umpteenth time I have seen this answer to this question.
-
- My answer is, yes, there is a program to do this and, no, I can't
- remember what it is. :[ I will have too look it up some time and see
- if I can find it. (maybe it should be put in the FAQ) The only problem
- is that it has been some years since I have seen the ad in question
- in the rainbow.
