![]() ![]() I do not have data on other versions of MacLink. How are you transferring the files you are trying?Įdited post: I stand corrected by the manual, MacLinkPlus 7.5 will convert from Mac (PICT) to PC (TIFF, or Windows Bitmap.BMP, also PC Paintbrush.PCX, Windows Metafile.WMF, Wordperfect Graphic.WPG). If PICT is one of the input options, then it is just a matter of getting the PICT into proper form for the PC/Unix world and onto compatible media. Probably easier to do PICT to JPG conversion on the Mac side before transfer, programs like Photoshop and Image Alchemy come to mind, unless you know your Unix world graphics program accepts PICT. MacLinkPlus I think will do the computer system file format bridging between Mac and PC world, PICT to PICT and JPG to JPG but not data file type conversion, and PC exchange should allow you to write PC format floppies if I recall correctly. But the suffix does no such conversion by itself. Linux penguin Tux created by Larry Ewing and The Gimp. ![]() If you can get the file over to the PC universe properly a suffix added there may give a hint to a suitably capable graphics program to try reading it using PICT format. port Linux-based PC Linux kernel 2.4+ USB port Mac computer Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later USB. It is still a PICT file in mac file format, and adding any non-pict suffix is useless. Adding a suffix does nothing for file type conversion. Smsm, it sounds like Aqua my answer all my problems.System 7.x screenshots are created in PICT format (data file type) Mac files(computer system file format). And i really do appreciate the help you guys have given. I guess, about computers, I'm sort of like those ninnies on the road that want their car to take them anywhere but don't want to bother learn the rules of the road. However, I want to get work out of my computer but really don't want to put work into it. I should probably try and learn OOo before venturing into another. I don't understand what X11 is, just that I have to have it. All I do with it is add colored background on the boxes with my initials in them. The person in administration that prepares our schedules (work schedules 6 weeks long) has created an Excel template and puts our schedule on it basically initialls in a box under a date heading. But if I were doing lots of trial printing or lots of letter printing I could not do it with OOo.ĭavid, that's intersting in that the only document I need and for which I got OOo is a spread sheet. It's OK for what I need, just one document a month and that is one page only. ![]() I can not print multiple copies the option is there but it doesn't do it. It's all in "standard" quality which I seldom use. At the very basic, I can not choose print quality. Thanks Hagar, David, and smsm, This is helpfull. I am not an expert, but my wife is less computer savvy - she uses NeoOffice exclusively. I usually use OOo for creating and editing documents and then use NeoOffice for printing, especially for documents that contain images. I also use NeoOffice - it is the OOo program packaged better for the Mac (there is also some politics between NeoOffice and OOo that I wouldn't pay attention too) - it runs without needing X11 so can use the normal printer drivers etc - but it is usually a couple of versions behind OOo (though can already handle the new MS office formats) and runs significantly slower that OOo - which itself is already slow. ![]() Overall though I would recommend sticking with it. The compatability with MS office is not perfect either. The X11 thing is a pain in the neck as the program does not interface well with the normal Mac OS - printing can be a problem for example. It is much more powerful than appleworks - expecially in the spreadsheet department - I would never go back to appleworks spreadsheets - plus you get a degree of compatability (read and write) with MS Office formats that appleworks does not have. It is slow yes, but is the best Office alternative I have come across - I run it successfully on a 500 MHz G3 Imac with 10.4.11 and 640 MB memory. Unless you plan to buy MS office for your mac OOo is definitely worth learning. ![]()
