Re: Witango-Talk: Timbuktu and TAFs

When are they gonna open up the extension for the editor for something  
other than taf, tml, or tcf?

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?

Rick,

Services For Mac is does two things - AppleTalk File Protocol and file
resource fork management. Since TAFs are just text files (and don't  
have
resource forks) isn't SFM a bit of overkill?

Hello,

For it to work properly, you need to install file services for  
Macintosh
on
the Win2k machine. Before this, your drive must be formatted in NTFS
before
you can install the file services for Macintosh.

Then, put your taf in the folder on the Win2k machine that is being  
used
for
file sharing with the Macintosh. Then, exchange files in Timbuktu  
with
your
Win2k machine, and it'll work.

Timbuktu uses the file system, where ftp just transfers raw data.

Anyone using OS X and Timbuktu v6 have the problem where TAFs
downloaded from a Windows box won't open in the editor? FTP is
fine,  as are earlier versions of Timbuktu. I'm wondering if there
is a way  to set the file mapping in Timbuktu for them.
Thanks!
