Hi Bill more on Windows & Mac OS file sharing In January MSFT's Office 98 Mac/Windows file compatibility appeared limited to reading files , but it goes further. AAPL's YAHOO news today states (Dorine's post) : " Part of being a great Macintosh application is the ability to work Windows-based applications. With the release of Office 98, customers now have a cross-platform solution, allowing users of Macintosh and the Microsoft Windows(R) operating system to share files seamlessly. Interesting ? Considering MSFT 98 is actually many popular (Word etc.) applications (file sets) and the MacOS shares them "seamlessly" . " ... Microsoft has responded to customer needs by providing file formats that are the same in Office 98 Macintosh Edition and Office 97 for Windows. " Wonder how Rhapsody , as a server (multi OS) administrator , fits in ? Regards, Jim K. Source: biz.yahoo.com
