Try this:
1.  Go to this link http://www.hpo.net/support/mac_compression.html
2.  Download DropConversion to your Mac
3.  Once its downloaded and uncompressed you want to make a copy of
     DropConversion for each type of file you want to convert to.  In this
case,
     you'll make a copy called something like "Dropconvert to MC".
4.  double-click on your new Dropconvert to MC.
5.  select the box beneath "Dropped files are converted to:"
6.  select the radio button next to Creator.
7.  change the creator to MCRD and the type to MSTK.
8.  Click OK.
9.  Whever you bring a stack from PC to Mac, drop the stack onto your new
Dropconvert to MC and Voila.
10.  If you find the software useful, cough up the $8.
