Additional Product Information
MacExplorer is an alternative free Windows explorer program to analyze Macintosh files stored on a Windows NT/2000 Server.
Runs on Windows 95/98, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000.
Note: MacExplorer runs on 95/98 but the peculiarities of the Macintosh files are not displayed on this platform (signatures, resource sizes, comments)
Automatic connection to the Macintosh Servers and to the Macintosh volumes; invalid volumes are also recognized (for example when the corresponding NT directories are renamed or removed).
MacExplorer recognizes volumes which have been created by standard Microsoft Services for Macintosh (MacFile), Cyan Software MacServerIP and Intergraph ExtremeZ-IP.
Displays and can modify the Type/Creator codes (Signatures)
Displays the Macintosh type of the files (XPress, Photoshop, Word, etc.), allowing to a Windows user to know the kind of the files without their 3 characters extensions
Allows to open Macintosh files without their Windows 3 characters extensions; for example, a Macintosh Quark XPress document without the QXD extension can be opened in a Windows Quark XPress by a double-click
Highlights the paths containing Unicode characters not allowed by Windows 95/98 (files or folders names containing characters like /, \, , ?, *, etc.)
Displays in bold the folders which are converted in "packages" (Mac OS 9) and can convert folders in packages (and vice-versa).
Cf. Apple's Technote Packages in Mac OS 9
Displays the sizes of data forks and resource forks
Displays and can modify the Macintosh comments
