I most humbly apologize, Matt. I always thought that AFE was an Apple project.

However, I maintain that AFE Mac->Prodos sucks raw goose eggs. Chan Wilson's
program performs the same function much more quickly -- my mentioning the
P8 block driver was a misguided attempt to stay technically accurate while
describing the program's translation speed.

What I really meant to say was that Chan Wilson's program performs the HFS to
Prodos transfer at the fastest rate supported by its O/S environment, and that
Apple File Exchange currently can't make anything near that claim.
