MacLinkPlus

MacLinkPlus was a file format translation tool for classic Mac OS and PowerPC-era Mac OS X made by Dataviz. It was included by Apple on classic Mac OS until 1997.[1] It could convert and open files created for another operating system, or by programs that may not be available on the user's computer. Thus, it could open a Word or Excel file even if Microsoft Office was not installed. MacLinkPlus supported, among others, word processing files, spreadsheet files, database programs and graphic formats.[2]

Once installed, the application displayed an icon on the desktop onto which users could drag and drop their documents to have them converted.[3]

This application is no longer sold by DataViz. Also, since the release of Mac OS X Lion, any application created for the PowerPC platform is no longer supported, and thus MacLinkPlus Deluxe will not open on this platform.
