 TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

 I want to copy Apple IIe software from 5.25-inch to 3.5-inch disks, using
 an Apple IIGS--and then run the programs.  I get a message that the Apple
 IIe disk was not formatted in ProDOS.  What should I do?

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

 If the program was written to run under DOS 3.3, it probably won't work
 under ProDOS.  You can use the System Utilities Disk 3.1 to copy the
 information over to a 3.5-inch disk (the DOS to ProDOS conversion is
 handled automatically during the copy).  However, if the application
 interacts with the operating system giving DOS 3.3 commands, it won't run.
 We recommend that you ask the software developer if they have a ProDOS
 version.
