Hi Jason, I never said it wasn't overkill! In fact, it's alot of work just to exchange files with Timbuktu instead of FTP.
However, when you put a file in the folder that's designated for sharing between Mac and Windows, the mac will read it as a Mac formatted file. Without doing that, the Mac will read it as a PC formatted file, even though it's a taf. Another simpler alternative is to open the WiTango editor on the Mac, open the taf from the PC and save it on the Mac. I think Steve likes to just double click the taf file, and have it open automatically with Witango. By the way, when are you guys going to change the extension from taf to waf?
