Perhaps I don't understand the problem here, but I don't see why
there is a need to go through this process. First, why would you need
to move a Mac executable (ie. a Projector) to a Windows machine? It
seems to me you'd only need to move DIR or DXR files which are
cross-platform. If you're making a hybrid (Mac/ISO) CD, you'd do that
from the Mac, not the Windows machine, so the only executables you'd
be moving are Windows files to the Mac.
Or am I missing something? I've done many cross-platform projects,
some authored on the Mac and some on Windows, and never had these
issues.
