gibsonm Posted July 14, 2000 Share Posted July 14, 2000 Assuming you are PBEM'ing then its fine (make sure the Mac user adds a suitable extension to the file so that the poor Windoze user can open the file more easily). You can't play directly until the TCP/IP patch comes out. ------------------ Regards, Mark:-{) Anxiously awaiting the G4 PowerBook 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever grateful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.Tankersley Posted September 7, 2000 Share Posted September 7, 2000 PBEM == Play By E-Mail He just means, stick a ".txt" on the end of the file. For example, send "turn17.txt" instead of, say, "turn17.in.which.I.kick.your.ass" which could cause his file system some problems. ------------------ Leland J.
