Yes, when the file is transfered to the floppy. Also you can transfer
as many files as you have room on the floppy, instead of one at a time.

Some yes, some no. IIRC the .bin will, but the .sit.bin won't, (and
others like that) then you have to transfer to floppy then to Mac and let
StuffIt, do its' thing, but it works 99.9% of the time, and that's all I
care about, untill my 7100/80av gets here.
One other thing is, transfering files from the PC to its' floppy, then
to a Mac. PC Exchange will let you open the floppy, then you can drag an
drop to StuffIt, that also works, but you have to have Stuffit, that is
where my catch22 hit me, before TransMac.
I'll tell ya though, this TransMac Utility has done everything I have
wanted it to do, to get files from a PC to any vintage Mac I have, via
floppy disks, it will also copy from CD-ROMs, I don't have a CD_Writer,
so I don't know if it will write to a CD_Writer. It also has an option
to format a Mac floppy in the PC floppy drive, but it was hit an miss
when I tried it, though it may have been that I was using disks with bad
sectors, I'll have to retry that, with a floppy that I know is good.
