If memory serves, I think the thing to do here is to fully specify the filename
when saving a table on the Mac. For example, rather than typing in "city"
(don't use the quotes), enter "city.tab" Mac MapInfo will take that to mean,
"make this kosher for a PC" and use PC file extensions.
I haven't seen the spurious data problem. What version(s)? # records? columns?
indexes? What networking voodoo?
