Hi Gene,
We got Photoshop, Illustrator, Pagemaker and a bazillion other programs
today. some of them may not translate to the PC from the Mac without some
help.
this same company has another program that incorporates Macopener with the
ability to translate other files.........but I guess I'll find out tomorrow
if it's AMD compatible.
Thanks,
DJ

Deej,
Last time I used Macopener, it was specifically to be able to read Mac
media (mac formatted disks)on a pc. If the actual files need
conversion, I don't think it applies. If I had a bunch of files to
move, I'd probably look at a way to fly them across over ethernet.

I worked on Service Desk for some graphic designers/publishers a couple of
years back who used it a lot. Yes, that's all it did, allowed you to open
Mac disks on PC. Did it well though.
We had Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign and all the other common publishing
goodies however and they translated pretty well. There are a few little pitfalls
such as fonts and stuff, and the two file systems have a few compatibility
issues. Macs can only have about 32 characters in their file name for example,
whereas PC's have 256 I think. Mac's however can include wierdo characters
like % / & and stuff whereas PC's can't. Also, on a PC a word doc has the
3 character .doc on the end, whereas on MAC that's all hidden and invisable
(and in most cases I think a 4 letter descriptor). Hence you often had to
add the suffix when moving to PC etc. Often you'll need to be sure you have
the appropriate fonts available on both platforms...
But in terms of basic file compatibility between the Adobe apps, there wasn't
really any issues I experienced. Adobe actually dealt with the cross platform
bit fairly well IMO.
Cheers,
Kim.

By the way, I never tested it with an AMD processor (boss didn't like 'em)
but it's just software... I see no reason it's less likely to run than
any other peice os software...

Can I actually install the Mac formatted drive in her new PC and she can
open the files and transfer them to the other drives in the PC?
Thanks,
DJ

Just talked to their sales dept. Looks like it's going to work just fine. I
can actually mount the Mac drive inside the PC and it will be recognized
through this program. that's pretty handy.
