Re: PC/MAC compatibility question

Tina,

this may seem a bit late in the day but problems between Macs and PCs reading tiffs and jpegs stems from the fact that Macs don't require a file extension in th way PCs do. If you include the appropriate extension after each filename- Pc dos filenames are 8 alphanumeric characters followed by the three character file extension (.tif .jpg ,etc.) then both Macs and PCs won't have a problem. As for the burning of Cds Pam and Colin seem to have answered that question.

Hope this helps

Tina,

The file format shouldn't be a problem. Macs can
create and read both tiff and jpeg files, although i
do know that there is an IBM tiff and a Mac tiff
format. Nevertheless, as long as the person using the
files has access to reasonably good softare, they
should be convertible. The readability of the disc is
likely to be a bigger problem. Sounds like you are
going from a PC? I know that with my Mac equipment I
can burn PC-readable discs. Good software on your side
therefore should allow you to format a disc the other
way around, in a Mac format. There are also programs,
I believe, that will burn a hybrid disc with the same
data readable by both platforms.

Hope that helps.

Colin
