Just for grins, I transferred some accounting data out of my G/L system which
runs under ProDOS.  The transfer is into Appleworks format.  I then read
this Appleworks file into VIP Professional (a Lotus clone that runs on IIe/GS
machines).  That process converted Appleworks into Lotus 1.0 format.  Then
I fired up the PC Transporter and transferred the Lotus formatted data out
of VIP (ProDOS based) into MS-DOS.  Then I loaded Quattro (Borland's Lotus
clone) and joila!  There was my accounting data.  All formulas translated.

The utility of doing this exercise is questionable.  But I am impressed at
the ease of doing the above.  Total elapsed time was about 5 minutes.

P.S., I guess it does prove that ProDOS to MS-DOS is now trivial.
