Re: Getting data between the mac and windows box
FileMaker Pro also works very well for transfering data cross platform. Need the program on both computers. Once transfered, FileMaker Pro has many forms the data can be exported in to a number of programs. Years of data, going back to 1976 for a 15+ school school district was all on Macs. The district decided to buy IBM clones. All files were imported into FileMake Pro and then transfered to the IBM clones - Gateway and Dell. All data was preserved and transfered without problem. FileMaker Pro has been useful to import data from programs such as Aeries and California state testing data in ASCII fixed format opened with Excel import nicely into FileMaker Pro, a much more flexible program than Aeries, allowing for extensive longitudinal data comparison. I don't work for FileMaker Pro but I couldn't meet ever changing State and Federal regulations and reports without it. Microsoft Word seems to work cross platform well enough for text if you use the correct versions. These cross platform transferes have made via email, 3.5 in. diskettes and CDs both ways. - Original Message - From: Mr Cranky [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PowerBooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 11:30 PM Subject: Re: Getting data between the mac and windows box I don't know about Dramatica, but you shouldn't have any trouble with Final Draft. The program is set up so that a Mac can read what was written on Windows and vice versa without any conversions. My problem is that so far anything other than a .txt file has been unable to be read on the Mac. Everything comes up something to the effect of it can't read the file type 'PC'. This has been to .sea, .hqx files etc. I can't seem to get any file from the online world that go through the Windows box to be read.

Re: Getting data between the mac and windows box - Part II
My original problem was (and still is) I was trying to upgrade to 8.6 which is available free but y windows machine is the one that is connected to the internet, the Mac is not or I would just use it to download the files I need to upgrade and would email the Final Draft/Dramatica files back and forth to myself. The reason I want to do it this way is cost. I can use the system as is for everything I want and don't want to spend so much on things that I'm halfway to a new system in costs. I appreciate all of the help so far -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Getting data between the mac and windows box
I'm not familiar with those programs, but going back and forth from a Wintel box to a Mac using an IBM-formatted disk works with M$ Word and Claris/AppleWorks. We use that all that time at a college I work at part-time for students who need to work on a paper but their computer-of-choice is being used by a class. (And I hear all the time But I can't do my work on a Mac--I'm a PC user and I don't know how to use a Mac! Then you have to explain to them that a Mac is a computerthey already know how to use a computer, and most of them never know there's keyboard commands, so there's no difference between, say, Word on a Mac or an IBM--they can use either. Sheesh--Bill Gates and Crowd have done a lot of damage to the INTELLIGENCE level of computer users!) Later.Howard Computer n.
