Yup. Works like a charm as long as you use .ai7 or eps as your extension.


     Macs don't need extension and can include exotic characters

     in their filenames. On a mac an illustrator file with a name

     like Logo\Revision 8 is no problem. If you transfer it

     directly you'll have problems. Save it as Logo-Revision_8.ai7

     and it'll be read fine.


Also remember the fact that postscript files don't necessarily bring the

necessary fonts along for the ride.

     So you have to make sure to either:

         Have the fonts in your file on your MAc and your PC

         Convert to outlines on the Mac before sending the file.


What problems have you had George?
