Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions

Hello,
I cannot import the file, only I can chose it in the software windows. In attach there is the same file (G5) but in mac version...the unique different caracteristic is tath is for a capyllary machine...if can help

Have you tried typing in the name like I suggested? Even if it doesn't list it, it may be possible to load it that way.

I'll check the new file when I get home, though I don't anticipate significant differences. ABIF is ABIF. The problem may not be in the file itself.

Hello,
a collegue say to me tath the problem could be the resouce fork...may hvae some methos to add it?...the problem could be tath i use mac os 9...?I will prove on Mac X
bye

Mac os 9!?

Yes, the problem is a resource fork.

Pre-OSX macs had a method of storing files that was incompatible with the entire rest of the universe. When you copy the file onto any PC formatted media, you get an incomplete file with the resource forks amputated. Alladin Expander can archive files in a manner that preserves resource forks, but a PC won't have any idea how to use them, and Alladin Expander isn't going to create brand new resource forks for Windows files that never had them. An OSX mac can understand resource forks, so you can see and modify the missing data that got stripped out whenever you took it to a PC, or zipped it, or whatever.

Modern macs have a less obnoxious way of handling resource forks so they don't get so easily lost.

These resource forks probably don't do anything but tell the mac that it's an ABIF file. If it will let you type in the file name manually, you may still be able to load an ABIF file without the resource forks. Have you tried?

yes, changing the forst part of file I am able to read the file anymore.. .
tank you!

It won't let you type the name in then?

No in this software the choice of the module must be done by direct selection in the scroll windows...besides the software read if the software meet the requisite ...so a corrupted file could be carged....the only problem I think tath is the resoruce fork..because these software was constructed under MACOS9 enviroment.
