MacExplorer

MacExplorer is an alternative free Windows explorer application to analyze Macintosh files stored on a Windows NT/2000/XP Server for a quick and easy access of data in AFP_info stream.
Here are some key features of "MacExplorer":
ï¿­ Runs on Windows 95/98/ME, NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
ï¿­ Note: MacExplorer runs on 95/98 but the peculiarities of the Macintosh files are not displayed on this platform (signatures, resource sizes, comments)
ï¿­ 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).
ï¿­ MacExplorer recognizes volumes which have been created by standard Microsoft Services for Macintosh (MacFile), Cyan Software MacServerIP and Intergraph ExtremeZ-IP
ï¿­ Displays and can modify the Type/Creator codes (Signatures)
ï¿­ 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
ï¿­ 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
ï¿­ Highlights the paths containing Unicode characters not allowed by Windows 95/98 (files or folders names containing characters like /, , , ?, *, etc.)
ï¿­ Displays in bold the folders which are converted in "packages" (Mac OS 9) and can convert folders in packages (and vice-versa).
ï¿­ Cf. Apples Technote Packages in Mac OS 9
