Bob:  Apple's Karl Young has written an application called "Passport" which
will transfer files between Mac HFS and ProDOS 3.5" disks.  Not only will it
do raw binary or text transfers, but it will also convert certain file formats
to the appropriate format on a foreign disk (i.e., AppleWorks WP to MacWrite).
Developers received beta versions of this program, so I don't know if it's
available for public consumption yet.

In the same vein, Eagle Berns has created two Macintosh applications which
convert Apple IIGS pictures to MacPaint format (after Passporting them, I
would guess), as well as creating the assembler source for using Mac fonts on
the IIGS.  FontMunger will read though a Mac font and produce a text file with
APW assembler directives to produce a font, or will create the binary image of
a FONT file that goes into the SYSTEM/FONTS subdirectory on a ProDOS 16 disk.
