hi my name is lori
i am a web manager for Cleveland State University...and i am not a computer major..
i have received web pages from one of our writers that are in
mac format done on PAGE MILL...
i need to convert these to dos ...somehow..
i do not have access to a mac machine which i could download page mill into to convert these pages...
i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions
if not i will just go pack to the writer and have her do this...
but i thought i would try this world renown site for suggestions...

If they're html files they shouldn't even need converting. You can just open
them on the pc as is.

the only conversion that's required is to make sure all file names fit the eight dot three restriction of the doswin world. unfortunately this may affect the names used in links which is where the problems are likely to show up. Mac users just have to remember that not everyone in the world has there flexibility when it come to naming files (win95 people will also face similar problems) but if lowecase and eight dot three naming conventions are adhered to there should be no cross platform problems!!!!!

You may also have problems with line endings.
MS-DOS/Windows uses CR+LF (0D 0A) to terminate each line,
Macintosh uses CR (0D), and
Unix uses LF (0A).
