I thought that to the extent that FMP and ebase are cross-platform applications the following question might be appropriate:
We have had difficulty opening .jpg's and .gif's created on the Mac side, on our Windows 95 PC's. For example, photos were scanned on a Mac as .tiff's, converted to .jpg's with Graphic Converter (on the Mac), transferred to PC formatted floppies, and installed on our PC. Their icons appear as generic Windows icons, and on attempting to open them, we get a message that the format is unknown. What is really confounding is that sometimes they will open in Internet Explorer or if they are manually given the .jpg extension (which is absent in Mac). I have had similar problems sending .jpg files created on Macs as email attachments to people who had PC's: one correspondent said that they would not open "even in Photoshop" or on another occasion Register,com could not open a .jpg logo created on a Mac. Can somebody help with something basic that I do not understand? Thanks.
