The shortest distance between a Macintosh and a PC.

DOS files on Macintosh.

Now you can work with files stored on 3.5- or 5.25-inch DOS and Microsoft Windows-formatted floppies. Just pop the disk in your Apple® SuperDrive™ disk drive or compatible floppy disk drive. The Macintosh desktop displays the disks icon automatically. (5.25-inch disks require a third-party drive.)

Macintosh ease of use.

Contents of DOS disks are displayed in a window on tbe Mac desktop just like any Macintosh disk. Files and subdirectories appear as standard Mac documents and folders. Open, save, rename, move, copy or delete them. You can even format DOS floppy disks.

Double-click and go.

The customizable control panel lets you create links between DOS files and Mac applications. Then, simply double-click on the file’s icon to launch the application. (A DOS Lotus 1-2-3 file launches Lotus 1-2-3 for Macintosh, for example.)

Unlimited exchanges.

With Macintosh PC Exchange, any DOS file can be brought into any Macintosh application which reads that DOS file’s format. In fact, files created by DOS/Windows applications like Microsoft Word, WordPerfect or Aldus PageMaker convert instantly to their Macintosh counterparts. Likewise, Mac files can be saved to DOS disks for use with compatible DOS/Windows applications.

Macintosh PC Exchange. Finally, moving files between a Mac® and a PC is as easy as moving them between two Macintosh® computers. So if you’d like the name of an Apple software reseller near you, call us at 1-800-538-9696, ext. 180. They’ll tell you more about Macintosh PC Exchange and show you how to bring the Macintosh and PC worlds closer together.
