Using Translation Tables with the Mac
All ETU commands in which data translation occurs include the TRANSILE
parameter. The default value for this parameter is TRANSLATE, which
exists for translating PC data – not Mac data. If you use a Mac you must
change the default value to MACTAB. (If you create a different
translation table, then you can specify the new table.)
As an example, the screen in Figure 4-1 displays when you select WSMENUS
option #1, FROM3XB. This command transfers data from the host to the
micro. Note that the preset translation table file name is TRANSLATE. To
correctly translate the data for the Mac, you must change the value to
MACTAB.

Table 4-1 lists the ETU commands that require a translation table file
name value. It also lists the commands' corresponding WSMENUS option
numbers. For these commands, Mac users must change the TRANSLATE
parameter to MACTAB.

Table 4-2 lists the ETU commands that use a translation table file name
but don't require the translation. If you do translate the file using
these commands, you must specify a translation table. For these commands,
Mac users that use a translation table with these commands must change
the TRANSLATE parameter to MACTAB.
