>>I want to take text files from an Apple disk and feed them into a PC << Annette, I assume you have access to the Mac as well as the PC. Place a new disk into the Mac and format it for a PC. Copy your text files to that disk before going to the PC with it. The Mac has to do all the work for compatibility. Windows is compatible only with Bill Gates' net worth. HerbVic

<<text files from an Apple disk and feed them into a PC>> 1) Get a blank disk and format it on the Mac as a PC disk. 2) Copy your text files to the disk. 3) Reduce the file name to no more than 8 characters and ad the .txt extention. ie. If the filename is Jim's Butterfly Report, you must rename to buttfly.txt Remember you cannot use spaces or characters like :;"'/<> or * because Windows/DOS will think you are trying to execute a mathematical function and crash. The only special character you can use is _ 4) Pop it into the PC and open file. -Bill_H
