A colleague of mine has been sent Iomega Zipp discs that have been
formatted by, and data recorded from, a mac computer.

Is there any software that would enable this data to be retrieved and
then read by a IBM PC with windows 95?

I seem to remember there were some special software like "macopen" or
similar that would allow this.

If such software exists from where can it be obtained?

Could I ask that replies be emailed to me direct as I will be away and
unable to receive news.

I will post responses for general information later.

TIA
Daniel Davies

There is some software called "Macsee" which will read floppies. It works
okay. But so far as I'm aware it won't work with Zips.

Your best bet is to find someone with a Mac and a Zip who can copy the
files across to a PC formatted Zip disk. He may need to provide the PC Zip
cart himself, as I don't *think* the Mac can produce PC formatted Zip carts
(although I'd be happy to be proved wrong).

Oh, and make sure that the person sending your colleague the files sends
the next lot on a PC formatted Zip disk.
