        What does APCNames ?

        APCNames is a useful utility for people who use PC disks to
        interchange files between Amiga (with CrossDOS) and Macintosh
        (with AccessPC®).

        It implements a slightly modified (debugged ?) version of the
        file mapping algorithm used by AccessPC to map the long Mac file
        names to short MS-DOS file names. By that means APCNames lets you
        reconstruct the original file names on the Amiga.

        As APCNames is written in ANSI-C, it might be useful also for
        UN*X users. The source is included in the archive.


        What's new in this version ?

        v1.1: As I got bored of the "hardwired" type & creator mapping of
        the former versions, I decided to make it configurable. This version
        of APCNames allows you to specify for which extension which type
        & creator information is created. See the documentation for more
        details.

        v1.2: In former versions APCNames did nonsense when encoding more
        than 2 files with the same 8 starting characters and same extension.
        In some cases it even crashed. The encoding of file names was
        complete rewritten and should work for up to 38 files with the same
        8 starting characters and same extension.

        v1.2a: For you Unix users out there this archive includes the sources
        of a version of APCNames running on Unix, which should compile with
        GCC properly. I use this version on SunOS. Look into the docs for
        additional options.
