THANKs Glen Bredon has a program called DOS Master that will allow you to put DOS 3.3 files on a prodos disk. It costs $25 at last check. Some programs still do not work with it because the drive that they work on is coded into the program. It is available from: Glen Bredon 521 State Road Princeton, NJ 08540 (609) 924-5976 I think it can also be found on some BBS's in a crippled shareware, but I'm not sure, as I haven't actually seen it, just heard about it.
