I Have A pc with a Burner but My mac doesn't have one, so when I download stuff from the Internet (with my PC)I want my Mac to see these files when I copy them from My Burner, and I want that My mac see those files like A normal File (mac).
Is there Any good sofware around here that can convert PC files To Mac Files for me to be able to copy them to a cd so that My mac can see them.
Thanx!!

Burn An ISO 9660, and the mac should be able to read them..., What are you using Toast, easy CD creator??

i'm using EZ cd creator,but what a Mean is that I want that my mac can execute programs from the cd (Mac Programs) that I copied from my pc to a cd.
but when I do that, macos see the application but can't execute im, it's like when windows doesn't reconise an extension, He makes a windows icon, well thats the same thing for the mac, He create's a Blank Icon.
thanx!!

If your downloading apps from the net using a pc, these apps will not run on a mac because the pc does not recognise the "resource fork" component of the mac file.
You therefore only get half the file the mac is expecting.
Hope this helps.

I already tried to cpy files that where compressed with Droptuff, and it works when I decompresse them to my Mac, but what i'm asking here is how to decompress img files and then burn it to a cd from my pc!
thanx again!!

The best way to burn a Mac CD is on a MAC. The resource fork part of the file will not be recognized by the vastly different filing system on a PC.
You can read PC stuff from a MAC, but generally not vice versa. I say generally 'cause if I say it's not possible, then I'll probably get flamed by someone who knows how to read Mac formatted files on a PC! :) lol.
Best way to share files between mac's and PC's is to setup a file server in between the two, and use that to transfer the files around.
We use a Mac / PC network with a Windows NT 4.0 Server with MacFile enabled in order to transfer our stuff around, and it works like a charm.
There is also a program out there called DAVE which works similar to NETBIOS and will enable you to see the Mac from a PC network and vice versa.

I format a CD-R (rewriteable capable) from my PC, I then compress the files I need to transfer from my PC to my mac using dropstuff. My mac is a PowerPC with a read-only CD-ROM drive, and I am unable to link the two due to one being at work and the PC at home (and I am not allowed to anyways due to my boss). But when I inserted the CD into my Mac it doesn't even recognize that there is a CD in the drive. How would I go about solving this problem? Is the problem that I just need to update the Mac to be able to understand newer type CDs, or is it a CD problem in general, or what? I am really in need of some help.

YEP, I have the same kind of troubles. Have a network, consisting of a MAC and NT Server 4. Want to browse from my MAC, using the IBM server as an internet gateway. I also need to exchange files between the two. My PC doesn't see MAC files on cd (HOW to overcome this??), doesn't see the mac on the network. My mAC runs fine ;-). It recognizes the PC, can read from the MACFile share. Cannot write to it, by the way. Why not? I don't know. Anyone?
BUT, the question remains: is there anyway to include the MAC fileinfo on a PC? Should be possible!?

I was having the similar problem - burner was ATAPI in a PC and I needed to burn mac files.
after some thought i finally figured this one out... get a mac and a PC on the same network. using adaptec toast or similar software on the mac, set up your CD. conifgure it as an ISO9660 with Macintosh extensions. 'Burn' this setup to an image file with a .ISO extension, and put it in a folder that you are sharing across the network with DAVE. then hop over to the PC and burn a CD using the 'burn from ISO image' option of your favorite cd burning software. it works great.

???ady have a CD image that i've downloaded to the net and I want to burn it with my PC, is it possible? I know that ISO9660 can be read by my Mac, but the filename is limited to 8, it's useless. If I have an ISO of a bootable CD, can I boot from this CD if I burn it in ISO9660 format ? Thanx.Sorry for my english, like you can see, that's not my fist language.

I believe that Nero Burning ROM by Ahead Software is able to burn HFS images. I've never tried doing that, but it's an option in the preferences. They have a demo at http://www.ahead.de
Hope this helps

I also live in the unhappy world of the PC
I only download files that have been compressed ie end in sit, bin, sea etc
i avoid img and installers.Pc mess them up
I then run BasiliskII (Mac emulator) and copy the files on to a 600 mg hard disk img.
then open Nero 5
click cancel
choose burn image from the file menu
find the folder with the image file in
change file types to all
select the image file has HFV on the end
change type of image to HFS click OK
tick write and disk at Once
and then click write and with luck you have
a mac disk.
I have tried once to make a start up disk but it would not work.
if you have a prolem with this method contact me
