Pat,
One caveat is MacDraw/ClarisDraw: Claris is a cross-
platform drawing format but MacDraw is not. If you want
to open/edit those MacDraw files on a PC, you need to
get them in to ClarisDraw format on the Mac first. There
is an XTND converter for the PC that supposedly will
open MacDraw files but I haven't been able to get it to
work.
