 This article provides instruction on converting Apple II files to MacWrite
 files using Bank Street Writer.

 DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------

 To convert Apple II Bank Street Writer word processor files into Macintosh
 MacWrite files follow these steps.

 Step 1
 ------
 Use the System Utility option within Bank Street writer to convert the binary
 Bank Street Writer documents to ProDOS 3.3 ASCII text files. This must be
 done for each file that you intend to transfer to the Macintosh.

 NOTE:
 Make sure that the names of the files contain only the letters (A-Z), no
 numbers or other marks.

 Step 2
 ------
 Use the ProDOS System Utilties Diskette to copy the DOS 3.3 ASCII text files
 that you have created to a ProDOS formatted disk. (You will need your
 original DOS 3.3 disk, and a new disk that has been formatted with ProDOS.)

 Step 3
 ------
 Use an Apple II computer that is equipped with both a 5 1/4" disk drive and a
 3 1/2" disk drive. Again, use the ProDOS System Utilities disk to copy the
 files from the 5 1/4" disk to a ProDOS formatted 3 1/2" disk.

 Step 4
 ------
 Use a Macintosh computer equipped with a FDHD (high density) disk drive
 (Macintosh SE/30 or later) and PC Exchange 1.1 or later.

 Step 5
 ------
 Insert the disk into your Macintosh and use MacWrite or your favorite word
 processor to open each file. Once you have verified that everything is
 intact, choose "Save as..." from the file menu and save the file.
