You don't have a Mac, do you? If you don't have a Mac, find a friend
who does. Have them copy the file to a DOS disk, and then you can
follow everyone else's directions. If you have a Mac, get a blank
disk, format it to DOS (Special | Erase Disk, choose DOS (NOT
ProDOS...that's Apple II stuff), and then copy the file from the Mac
disk to your drive, and then to the newly formatted disk.
I'd just hate to see you reformat the floppy if it's your only copy
of the file. :)
Last resort -- have the people who sent you the file format a DOS
disk on their Mac, then copy the file and send you that one.
