- Use Apple File Exchange. Under the 'Mac-to-Mac' menu, choose 'Text
- translation', and set that to 'Mac to ProDOS'.

- I've had the same problem here. With the ProDOS FSM active, ProDOS disks
- appear to be Mac disks, at least to the OS, and if the text file that you
- created was done by a Mac program and saved, then the file has a resource
- fork. The ProDOS FSM does no translation when it copies, so you get exactly
- what you had. But (the good news) GS/OS programs can read those forked text
- files. :)
