  31. Mac-In-DOS is a clumsy, ugly program which costs about $129 retail and can 
  32. only format Mac-format disks (not all media, just floppies, I think) and 
  33. copy files.  They use a slightly more convenient, non-standard method for 
  34. storing resource and finder data, but ARDI are working on a better method, I 
  35. think (they're captive to a horrendous Apple standard)(the "horrendous" was 
  36. to apply only to "standard", not "Apple" as well, which is far worse a 
  37. corporate disaster than "horrendous" could hope to capture).  It does NO 
  38. software emulation AT ALL.  In fact, Executor is even better at copying 
  39. files for me, because it understands Win95 filenames and Mac-In-DOS, last I 
  40. checked, does not.
