I forwarded that to him. I hate to see effort go wasted, even if he was a 
TROUBLEMAKER.

MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE FILE TO BE

Depends on the file.
You know macs have to parts to each file, one resource and one is data.
Data is easy enough to understand, its the data. ;)
The Resource part or fork is the bit that tells the mac what to do with 
the data, wonderful idea in the 80's but a load of crap now.

So transfering the file straight to a pc means you loose the resource 
fork so once it gets to the emulator the virtual mac has no idea what to 
do with it - wonderful isn't it?

Now you have worked out that stuffit type file will transfer as both 
data and resource files are compressed into one file.

If you have ethernet on the quadra and ethernet on the pc hook them both 
up to a hub and use Appleshare between the quadra and Basilisk II just 
as you would between two macs.

BII comes with ethernet drives to enable this, add them to your network 
card on the pc, the ethernet tab in BII will show something under other 
than greyed boxes once its done, from there you have a networked mac in 
your pc which you can use to talk to other macs. Not much good without a 
nic in both machines so you'd be back to stuffing files in that case.

Hope that helps, please dont use capitals for your messages, nobody 
likes it, it means your yelling and you wont find many answers that way.

Cheers. OH I SEE THE NANNY HAS BOOTED YOU, COULD YOU BOOT ME PLEASE AS 
WELL AS I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS LIST, MISTAKES ARE MADE I NOTICE NO ONE 
OFFERED ANY HELP OR ADVICE REGARDING JUSTINS POST WHICH IS ABOUT ALL I 
EXPECT FROM THIS BUNCH. As I cant agree and cant unsub please boot me, 
thanks for two good years and 2 years of dribble.

[q] MAC READING PC FILES

2005-04-19 Thread Justin Zaza

SO I TAKE A FILE OFF MY QUADRA, ON A PC FORMATTED
DISK, AND TRY TO OPEN IT WITH THE EMULATOR, BUT ALAS,
IT "CANNOT FIND THE PROGRAM THAT CREATED IT."

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET IT TO BE READ?

IF I STUFF IT ON THE QUADRA, THEN PUT IT ON THE PC
DISK, THEN UNSTUFF IT ON THE EMULATOR, IT THEN IS
READABLE, BUT I HOPE IT DOESNT HAVE TO COME TO THIS.

MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE FILE TO BE
READ, WITHOUT HAVING TO FIRST STUFF IT? YOU SEE, I
ALREADY TRANSFERRED LIKE A THOUSAND FILES WITHOUT
STUFFING THEM.
