I've worked with all three. Access PC is the best. DosMounter is by far the most picky and I recommend you avoid it. Any disk formatted with DOSMounter frequently is not readable by actual PCs. Mac-PC Exchange is similar to Access PC yet is not as robust in translation; Yet you get to pat extra for the pretty Apple Logo, more than Access PC. I've been happy with Access PC. robg@wsinfo11.info.win.tue.nl (Rob Gerth) writes: >Hi, >Does anyone have experience with Apple's Macintosh PC Exchange and is willing >to comment on its virtues/vices as compared to AccessPC and DOSMounter? >At the moment, I am using AccessPC but I find it very fussy about accepting >DOS disks.
