- Hello,
-
- Any help on this question will be greatly appreciated.
-
- My pc is connected to the net but a friend's mac isn't. I would like to
- download various mac binaries from the net and transfer them to the
- friend's mac. I suppose I can do a binary transfer from the archives
- and get the binaries in a diskette on the pc, but then I would have to
- translate them to a mac format so that the friend's mac can read them.
- Is this correct?
-
- I also suppose that I would need some decompression software for the mac
- because most binaries in archives are compressed with some form or
- another. But still, these decompression utilities have to travel the
- same path, namely: from the net to my pc and then to the friend's mac.
-
- I'm only familiar with the pc world and I don't know if the same compression
- methods are used for mac files too, like the .zip method. But I can get
- info on mac decompression software if and when I need it, through the net.
- The important thing is to transfer whatever file I get from the pc to the
- mac. Do you know how I can accomplish this?
-
- Thanks a lot for any suggestions, directions and help you have to offer.
-
