I know what you are talking about as far as the Data Fork is concerned. A standard CD won't cause a problem. Download the file, and burn it to a CD and then copy it over and run the installer.
Basically you could transfer files around, but the Mac stored meta data used by the OS in a separate hidden file called the resource fork. Windows read the extension and used the OS to determine what to do. Macs on the other hand read the resource fork. You could move the files around, if you had a FAT disk you could copy the files over to it, and the read the data portion on your windows pc. You might have needed to rename the file, but it would work. You would just ignore the resource fork files created by the Mac. OS 8 came out in July of 1997, and the last update was in October of 1999, Apple currently lists the product as Historic, not supported. That version of Netscape is based on Mozilla 1.0.2 and came out in early 2003. I doubt it will be able to do much either. I don't remember where it keeps that stuff. I would be interested to know if it at least a G3. If it isn't a G3, good luck :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Dana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 7:48 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: stupid mac questions > > nope, was rather boggled that she was really right about what was > happening > and hadn't slept for a couple of days when I was over there.
