MacSEE 4.3 Shareware Demo - 08/12/94 ============================================================================= Installation of MacSEE: DOS - Simply copy the MACSEE.EXE file to a directory and execute it (by typing MACSEE). Windows - Copy all of the included files to a directory and run INSTALLW.EXE to install the Windows version of MacSEE. ============================================================================= This shareware demo version of MacSEE is free and can be distributed freely. It serves to demonstrate our MacSEE software. It will read/write Mac disks and transfer files of 16K in length, make & remove folders, delete files, and rename files. Why only 16K files? Because this is a demo. This README.TXT file can be used as a sample file to transfer to a Mac disk. First set preferences so that translation is on Auto-Detect. Then transfer the file. That's just how easy to use MacSEE is. MacSEE is not only the best way to get files to and from Mac disks on a PC, but it's also the most flexible as it features translations for many popular files types and works with SyQuest and Bernoulli removables or any other SCSI hard disk that is ASPI compliant or BIOS Int 13h driven. MacSEE is also available at the least cost and includes both DOS and Windows versions in one package. We hope that you find it of use. ============================================================================= MacSEE is a powerful utility that allows a standard PC to read/write Macintosh disks. This includes 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 * 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 4.1 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 4.1 now allows for formatting/partitioning of Mac hard disks such as SyQuest removables.
