Isn't this a little high of a price for a program to read a different format
of disks?  Seems to me that the hardest problem about reading a Mac disk is
deciding what to do with that resource fork, and a Mac resource fork is
pretty worthless to anything but a Mac (and possibly a Mac emulator :-)).

I guess I'll just have to try my hand at writing a similer program when I
get my NeXT.
