Jackal Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 I have a PC and initiated a PBEM. My opponent has an IMAC, he could not read the file. Are we destined to never play one another because of this issue??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 no it can work it helps if one of you is a computer geek the file will work file if it is zipped e-mail file attachments can be tricky across mac and Pc across the internet at the BEST of times. IF the Mac guys uses Zippit and zips the attachments you will be fine if the Mac guy uses Outlook by the B Gates Company as the e-mail sender you will likely be fine. any other suggestions? anyone? it will work and it does work but one of you needs to be technically savy enough to identify the problem and figure out if zipping or stuffing or compressing the file for attachment purposes is the answer. -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadayne Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 If you .zip your files, he should be able to open them using stuffit expander. when he returns the files, he shouldn't have to compress them at all. This system has always worked for me on cross platform play. ------------------ "I'm the Quarterback. I make the plays.

L.Tankersley Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 Mac users can also use ... MacZip, I think it's called, which is a drag-and-drop application to let you create zip archives on a mac that can be opened on a PC. ------------------ Leland J.
