I believe SHRConvert can convert Mac format (MacPaint, I think) but I haven't
tried it out yet.  The easiest way to transfer would probably be through a
modem, but I just got a program that's supposed to allow the GS to read 400K
Mac disks.  Using this, it seems it would be possible to directly read off the
Mac disk and transfer to a GS disk.  I haven't tested out this program yet, so
I can't say if it'll work (BTW, I got it from the Listserv not to long ago.
I find I can't send request at night, my thought is that maybe they shut down
their machine at night.  When I send a request in the morning, it's a matter of
a few minutes before I get a reply)

Mac disks, so it might be possible to use this and directly read the Mac disk
