MAC-ETTE.ZIP    Read 1.4meg Mac floppies in a 1.44meg PC drive

Mac-ette, version 1.0, is an MSDOS utility that will read Mac-formatted
high-density (1.4 meg) floppy disks on a PC equipped with a 3.5 inch
high density (1.44 meg) drive.  It cannot read 400K or 800K Mac diskettes. 

Please note that Mac-ette will read but not write Mac-formatted floppy disks.

to SIMTEL20.
