Does anybody remember the old MacTrans GS program, which converts (old)
Macintosh MFS formatted disks?

I pulled that out and found it wouldn't read past the second device in
the SmartPort chain, so I rewrote the interface to use the new SmartPort
interface.  Now, it is very easy on my IIgs to use the conversion, and I
always keep a few MFS disks around to save stuff on, when I'm working on
a Mac.  Easy conversions, right there, and it doesn't take up time on
the Mac.

The update includes (spacious and prob. unnecessary) error checking and
removal of the two-device limit.  Unfortunately, I haven't been in
contact with the author, and I don't know if he would want modified
copies of his program running around.

Would anybody be interested in the fix? and is it OK for me to send it
out?
