Exchanging Disks and Files

With MS-DOS Computers

Apple File Exchange is a file format conversion program supplied

on your system software disks. The program and translator files

are stored in the Apple File Exchange Folder.

You can use the program to initialize a disk in MS-DOS (or

Apple II ProDOS) format and convert files to and from MS-DOS

(or ProDOS). Apple File Exchange cannot open converted files;

you need to open them with an application program that

recognizes the converted files.

Initializing a disk in MS-DOS format

(You can also follow these instructions to initialize a disk in

ProDOS format.)

1. Locate the Apple File Exchange icon and open it.

Apple File Exchange is supplied on one of your system

software disks.

When you open the program, the contents of the active

window are listed on the left side and an empty box appears

on the right side.

2. Insert a blank disk into your floppy disk drive.

A message reports that the program can’t read the disk and

asks if you want to initialize it. The message lists the formats

available in Apple File Exchange, including Macintosh,

MS-DOS, and ProDOS.

(You can initialize a disk that is not blank by inserting it,

clicking the Drive button until the disk’s name appears,

and then choosing Erase Disk from the File menu.)
