A few months ago, I reconfigured my Lisa setup to a MacWorks-based C
development system.  I now have a need to read and convert files on one of
my old Lisa disks, and am not particilarly keen about backing up my hard disk
and reinstalling the Lisa Workshop.  I have seen the ReadLisa application, but
unfortunately it doesn't permit the *conversion* of files from the Lisa to
the Mac.  Does anyone out there have a copy of or know of the existence of
a program that will behave more or less like Maccom (the Lisa's file transfer
utility) and will reside on the Mac side?

Please respond via email; I'll summarize to the net.
