RE: FLASH: CD-Rom

[Phillip Kerman]

But...


While decoding on Windows is possible, your projector will never be able to

be viewed on a Mac... as it needs both the data&resource forks.  On Windows

you can't move these files around.  Say, you binhex (hqx) a  .jpg... or a

.fla, you can use Unstuff on Windows to restore the file... or vise-versa...

and open the .jpg on Mac.  (Of course you won't be able to double-click the

.jpg on Mac unless you have some system software "pc exchange"--regardless,

you'll be able to do a file>open and point the file--in , say, PhotoShop.)


Applications (.exes on the mac) are a different story.  They need both the

data and a resource fork made just for mac--and effectively invisible on

Windows.
