Apple Workgroup Server 8550 - Manual (Page 101)

You experience problems using a document from a DOS computer.
If you can’t open a DOS or Windows document using a Macintosh
program, try the following:
m
Open the document from within the program by using the Open
command in the program’s File menu.
m
Use the PC Exchange control panel to change the document’s type to one
that can be opened by the program. See the information on setting up
your Macintosh to use DOS files in the “DOS, Windows, Apple II Files”
topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
If a DOS document is displayed incorrectly, or you see strange codes or
characters in the document:
m
Your application program may have special procedures for opening and
saving documents with different file formats. See the information that
came with your application program.
m
Try opening the document in another program.
Note: Some characters that can be displayed on the server are not
accurately displayed on DOS computers.
You see a message that your application program can’t be opened
because a file can’t be found.
Power Macintosh programs use special files called shared libraries. Any
necessary shared libraries should be installed automatically when you
install Power Macintosh programs.
m
Follow the directions that came with your program to reinstall the
program. If the shared library is still missing, contact the software
program’s manufacturer for assistance.
You experience problems using an older Macintosh program.
Some older Macintosh programs are not completely compatible with the
Power Macintosh computers.
m
Open the Memory control panel and turn off Modern Memory Manager.
(Note that AppleShare cannot work properly when the Modern Memory
Manager is turned off.) For more detailed instructions, see “Using Older
Macintosh Programs” in Chapter 3 of this guide.
