Yes, you can. TransMac is a program that lets you do MacBinary Translation of
Mac files off a Mac CD to your PC hard drive. Then you can reverse the
process and send the files to a Mac floppy or zip. Unfortunately, the
TransMac demo limits the file size to less than 1.4 MB and the full program
costs more than a Mac CDROM. It is nice for transferring small files to a PC.
I was wondering if there was a program that skipped the middle step (if
possible) and did not cost as much or at all. Yes, I am poor college student
trying to still use Mac.
