morotot Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 I am having a real tough time trying to play by mail with Mac buddy (I have the PC). He can send me a game (using Eudora unencrypted msg), but I can't send him a file he can load an use (I use Communicator). Any tips out there? We've tried various zip formats to no avail.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been playing Mac V PC without any problem. How are you attaching the files to be sent? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Galanti Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 What exact problems are you having? A PC using friend of mine was using Communicator for a long time, and we never really had any problems, we didn't have to zip it or anything...

morotot Posted September 26, 2001 Author Share Posted September 26, 2001 First off, thank you for the fast response! But in truth my buddy and I are rookies.... we never choose the play by e-mail option and were sending each other saved games. Geesh, it was hard to admit this..... thanks again for all your offers to help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 Zip your files and send them as an attachment. I have had the same problem when the files get @1Mb. Although less convenient it should work fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 Glad to read that you've sorted it out! Playing via TCP/IP is also possible between a Mac and Windows machine. Just ask if you need help figuring it out! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> First off, thank you for the fast response!
