Converting between Macintosh & Windows

Problem

converting between Macintosh and Windows versions of MacNail construction management software. More details about platform swaps.

Diagnosis

wants to convert files or entire program from Macintosh to Windows or vice versa

Solution

to switch some files:
1. make a copy of the file on source computer.
2. rename it to the correct file name format for the other platform
e.g. MACNAIL.ESR becomes MacNail Estimator or vice-versa
3. drag/copy it onto a floppy disk*
4. insert in other computer and drag/copy it into the correct folder*
* may need to use Apple File Exchange on the Mac side.

to switch entire program: need to pay for either a site license (P&P 23) or replacement manuals (P &P 24).
