If what you're looking for is PC software to help you read Mac-formatted
disks and convert files in Macintosh-native formats, what you want is
"Conversions Plus," from DataViz. (There's a product called "MacOpener"
by the same company that *just* mounts Mac disks and has a subset of
the translation functions, but for US$30 more you get the full package.)
Good luck!
