I have files compressed by CopyDoubler on Macintosh. With what toll
can I extract them on PC?

Hi, rechesi-ga:

Would you confirm whether the compressed files you refer to are
actually DiskDoubler files?

Per my comment, here is a Web page (which discusses the
cross-functionality of Stuffit Deluxe, another Mac archiving product,
to extract DiskDoubler archives) which has a link to DDExpand:

Here's an old review of Norton DiskDoubler Pro, which in some sense
(explained in the review) superceded CopyDoubler, DiskDoubler, and
AutoDoubler:

At the bottom of the review are various messages posted by folks with
concerns similar to yours.  Generally the idea seems to be to try and
retrieve the compressed archives using a free utility DDExpand (for
which a link is provided; I could try and help you get it, if you
don't already know about it).  But DDExpand apparently cannot cope
with multi-segment archives.  It's not evident that anything can be
done directly on a PC to decompress your files.
