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.

I am a novice. What does PBEM consist of and how do you add the extension? Forever grateful.

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.

It's been my experience with the Mac version that the game adds the "txt" extension to whatever name you type in.
