Demo files for cross platform access

Zipnyc
in FileMaker Legacy fp3 and fp5

Featured Replies

This is something new for me:

I'm preparing a demo CD with a sampling of solutions for use on Mac and Windows platforms. Is it necessary to add the extension, .fp5, to all files to allow cross platform access? Are there any other preparations required for access by these platforms or generally recommended?

TIA

Provide a zip archive of the files for Windows users: copying a folder from a locked volume (CD-ROM) causes the files themselves to be locked on most versions of Windows. It's easier to drag a zip archive across and expand it.

Check layouts and fonts on both platforms. Fonts are bigger on Windows than MacOS.

Thanx Vaughan,

I'll include the zip archive. And, I'll make certain the extension .fp5 is on each file before zipping.

Any suggestions for Mac OS files before burning?

L.
