I've been experiencing the following problem:
I've been trying to exchange binary files Mac <-> PC.
Now, all works fine one way: I stuff the files I want to transport to my
PC using stuffit, and I use SoftPC to write the resulting archives
to an MS-DOS disk on my Mac IIci.
Expecting this to work the other way around too, I try to copy stuffed files
from my MS-DOS disk to my Mac, then setting TYPE and CREATOR right,
but the files have gone bad: Stuffit says the header's corrupted and can't
do anything useful with it.

It appears to be the case that the file gets 'translated' in some way:
this is the reason I do not use Apple File Exchange, since it chooses
to translate all kinds of things I don't want it to.

Now does anyone know how to read a file without translating it from 
a PC floppy on a Superdrive? It annoys me Apple just doesn't seem to
support binary file transfer on the Superdrive.

Does anyone have an 'automount' init (or DA, or program) that installs
a PC drive on the finder's desk? I think Finder will not translate files,
once it's able to read them, and having a mounting volume is more comfortable
than AFE anyway.

Thanx in advance for all your replies.
