  Apple File Exchange comes on the system disks with every Mac, not just
the Mac II.  It can also use filters to translate files from one format
to another.  For example, Microsoft Works has a filter to translate
Appleworks files to Works files.  (Unfortunately, it doesn't do the
reverse.)
  Eventually, Apple plans to upgrade the Macs system software to
match the elegance of the GS/OS FSTs, so Mac users will be able to
use disks formatted for other operating systems without needing a
special utility.
  In the meantime, where are our HFS and Dos 3.3 FSTs?
