Hi,
How can I open a McIntosh file saved in a diskette under MsWindows enviroment?
The error message I got is "The Disk is not Formated".
Is there a software can do the conversion?
Base on current situation, I do not have a McIntosh.

Thanks

MacWinText will convert Mac text and RTF files to Windows formats and vice versa.

You can find this program at www.tucows.com

The problem will be in reading the file if it is on a floppy formatted in the mac environment.

The quickest solution would be to send the floppy to a firend who uses a mac and he or she emails the file back to you.

There are several software solutions out there that will do what you need to do.

One that I've used in the past is called MacDrive. The latest version is MacDrive 2000, and you can download a fully-functional 5 day trial version from www.macdrive.com. This software will allow you read Mac-formatted media (floppies, cds, etc) and help make the file conversion from Mac to PC. It will automatically translate most common formats.

Hope this helps!
