In the disk directory, I found the very thang. It's the file It has a drag and drop app for stripping the resource fork and another to do the same for the data fork. There's even one to strip the name resource, maybe that would cause files copied to DOS disks to not be forked, who knows. Here's the procedure for getting a Mac downloaded file to work in ProDOS 8: download it drag the file's icon onto the resource fork stripper app icon copy the file to a ProDOS disk stick the disk in your Apple II I tested this with a simpletext file, I got Appleworks to open it pretty as you please. Just goes to show how much more productive a little resourcefulness is rather than mindless griping. -- Randy Shackelford US Air Force officer shack@frii.com and Apple aficionado
