Dr. Brian Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 that's the question. Can PBEM be played against someone on a different platform? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlichtingen Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 One suggestion... zip the files. Just attaching the text file doesn't always work... and this seems to be an e-mail client problem rather than a platform problem. Also, if you are the one using the Mac, be sure your e-mail client is NOT encoding binhex... PCs can't handle binhexed files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karch Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 As a Mac and PC user, I agree with everything said above. 1) Mac users should make sure their attachments are MIME encoded when sending to PC users 2) PC users can open HQX binhexed files if they get them, but they need to download the great free program Stuffit Expander.

GriffinCheng+ Posted April 20, 2001 Share Posted April 20, 2001 Not to mention that programs like WinZip handles HQX and BIN files as well. On Mac, you may wish to try ZipIt as well. russellmz, I think you should put this thread into your FAQ. Regards, Griffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
