Next message: Peters J B (Brooks) CRBE: "[WinMac] Converting HPGL Files to PostScript/PDF"
Would it be possible to turn on file sharing in your copy of VPC 4 and then
share the folder with the files on your "Mac" hard drive? I have VPC 3 with
Win98 and I'm able to make my Mac's hard drive a share, log onto VPC from
another machine and transfer files.
HTH,
Tim
