1. mark, Summ: Mac-PC conversion of Japanese text

I inquired about conversion of Japanese text from Macintosh to
MS-DOS. Two people replied, and their answers are substantially
the same:

Both Macintosh and MS-DOS use Shift-JIS encoding for Japanese, so
all that is necessary is plain-text file conversion from Mac to PC
format (including CR-LF [carriage return - linefeed] conversion).
Apple's own Apple File Exchange will do this on a Mac and write
the output to an MS-DOS disk.
