At this time when the computer is so widespread, it is common to find one instead of working with some file, document, database or spreadsheet, created and worked on different computers or systems.

The format of the files and the organization of the data are very related to the systems that have created them and until now it was impossible to use them in other computers and applications with a different system.

Recently (TA, Data Viz product distributor, has unveiled the new tool for Macintosh. This tool is called MacLink Plus/Translators and comes to overcome that obstacle or limit we mentioned.

3.5-inch DOS floppy disks on Macintosh computers can be accessed via the Apple File Exchange tool. MacLink Plus /Translators will then offer 100 different combinations to automatically return the content and format of the files.

The application created when reading a file will take into account the established format rules and then write a new copy of the file that can be understood by the application that will use.
