I have a PC with a floppy drive and a PowerBook Duo 280c with a floppy drive. I want to download mac files (software, games etc) on my PC then put them onto floppy and open them on my PowerBook. I can not, no matter how much i try! My PowerBook can read the disc and the files, but it asks me to choose a program to open them with. I don't no what to do. Can anybody help?

If they are Mac files, try using Stuffit Expander. Use the newest version that you can, because I have found that it will open more types of files than the older versions. See the following web page for downloads: http://www.jagshouse.com/stuffit.html

I can download Stuffit Expander, but when I open it on my PowerBook it asks what program it wants to open it with. Why doesn't it just load? It says it can't read the file. Surely its never ending - i need stuffit to open stuffit?
