Can you open it in MacPerl Classic if the name is dragged (drug?) on top of a droplet, which would then generate some arbitrary name and copy the file from CD to MacHD using a READ/PRINT combination, then you would rename to choice?
Or, when the droplet starts, you could prompt a console(like) device for a new name? Just a random thought... --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Nicholas G.
