I use Mac-in-DOS for this, and it is a crude solution.  You cannot access
anything else while running it.  It only reads 1.44 Meg floppies. And
even on Excel files (which have the same format), it parses out the
resource fork and then deposits both forks separately on your hard drive.
 
I didn't expect something as elegant as Access PC or PC Exchange which
are completely transparent, but this was a letdown.  On the UP side, it
works!
