A couple programs which can be used to change filetype, etc. are ... Jeff Hartkoph's File Manager- a GS NDA which lets you change Type, Auxtype, Date, and Access attributes. It is handy for modifying several files in quick succession. Paul Parkhurst's PMPunZip- a GS application which includes an option for changing Type, Auxtype, and Access attributes. (In the File menu click on Modify File Attributes.) You can download FileManager NDA at ... ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/2/apple2/apple16/System/Ndas/ PMPunZip at ... ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/2/apple2/apple16/Com/Utils/ ftp://apple.cabi.net/pub/applegs/Utilities/ > Another question - I remember seeing that Seven Hills has a browser type > program for the //gs... has anybody tried this?
