Problem:
	We have a Mac w/ a scanner at my school. I can scan a page OK and
	then use MacTrans to drop it in a file that SHRConvert can drop.
	Great! What I'd like is a FST that will sense if there is a
	Prodos or HFS disk in the drive, and adjust accordingly for the
	read. Applications would still not run, but you could use, say,
	the finder to copy a program to another prodos disk, and then
	upload it or convert it... A HFS formatting option added to the
	right tool would be nice too...

Has it been done? I am almost positive its possible. Would anyone who is
good like to try? I would, but it would take a year and probably not work!

Thanks!
