Don't waste your time on MacLayers. It won't work on anything but
8-bit/no parity systems, and when I asked them about it, they
complained it was a _bug_ (it never did work - I call that poor
programming).  One wonders what other bugs they want us to find for
them, perhaps in their other 'features'.

UnixWindows is old, but it DOES work.
