Hi Karina,
It's not really a Lingo question, but...
Mac files have two things that don't port well to the PC. The first is the
Type/Creator attribute. Since Macs don't usually use extensions (like
.EXE) to say what the file is, they instead use a type/creator
pair. Losing the type/creator

Karina,
Sounds like you may have lost the resource fork on these mac files.
Cross platform files like director casts and movies can be
reassociated. But mac applications and xtras have executable code in
their resource forks. What typically happens when you move a mac app
to a pc and back aga

You see, since I author on the PC and use a runtime Xtras folder (as opposed
to embedding them in the projector), I need a place to keep all the bits of
the project together - mac a
