I wouldn't waste all my time converting all my files from DOS 3.3 to Prodos. 
Most of it probably won't work anyway.  You would have to make quite a few
modifications to some programs and none to others.  But if you want to know
how to change filetypes - there is a great program out called FAZ.  It will
let you change any/all attributes of a file (that's why it's the File
Attribute Zapper.)  Just fool around with the program, read the dox, but I
really couldnt' explain this off the top of my head.

Are you using the convertor from the Prodos users disk?  Well, that's NOT
really the best program you can use.  I have had nothing but problems with it.
If you can, use Copy II Plus.  It does a real nice job with the conversions,
but it will not fix any compatibilty problems.
