Does anybody know how (or if) I can transfer WriteNow files between the Mac and NeXT? I tried it once and the NeXT seems to have a problem reading Mac WriteNow files. Is there any kind of translation needed between them? Thanks in advance. - daniel (ddee@vicorp.uu.net) >From: rmf00365@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu

Thanks in advance. >- daniel (ddee@vicorp.uu.net) I've tried it on small files, and it's worked for me -- and I'm even using an old version (1.07) of WriteNow on my Mac. After getting the file from my Mac to my NeXT (using binary FTP or whatnot), and renaming the file with a ".wn" suffix, I can open it from WriteNow. Any option-characters get garbled, and non-standard fonts get changed to Helvetica, but things work for the most part. It even accepts pictures, although instead of display- ing them, it just draws a box saying "Macintosh graphic". Rick Wong rick@jessica.stanford.edu >From: greid@adobe.com (Glenn Reid)

Thanks in advance. >- daniel (ddee@vicorp.uu.net) I seem to remember that deep in the depths of the file system, there is a utility to translate Mac WriteNow files to NeXT ones. It translates all the special characters, but not much else. Keep looking. >From: dcarpent@sjuvax.UUCP (D. Carpenter)
