Hokay, will someone please define AppleSingle and AppleDouble, and where
I might find some info on them?  Thanks.

Also, since I haven't tried this, what happens when you try to use
AFE to convert a forked file?  Death?  Or, does it say "Oh, I've got 
a resource and a data fork here, I'll just put them in the right place."

<ha>

Hmm.. speaking of resource and data forks and the like, given an Apple II
version of AFE, what would people use it for?  On my little mental list 
of possible uses I have sound, font, and text files.   More, please.

Finally, to go MacAFE one better, (maybe) would people find any use
to read a Mac hard drive and transfer files off it?

(hoh hoh.. guess what I'm up to? :-)

...why, oh why, does prosel take so long to restore a hard drive?...
