Hi Don, I think you have run headlong into one of the differences between the Mac OS and the PC. I ran into this years ago while using a PC card in my 8500. What follows is an oversimplification; but may help you to understand what is happening:
A Mac application contains certain components that the PC application does not. When a Mac app is downloaded by a PC, these components are "left behind;" and, as you found, the app won't work. There are exceptions to this; but as a general rule, you must download Mac apps WITH a Mac. PC Exchange will help you to read/open some documents created on the PC with your Mac. It doesn't work with applications or the like. Is that any help? Listers, you're welcome to chime in here... Frank -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
