Does anyone know of commercial or public domain software packages that will permit the transfer of MacPaint documents to an IBM PC via (prefer- ably) direct linkup or modem, and would afterwards convert them to a format usable by an IBM? -- Robert Dorsett ARPA: mentat@ngp.cc.utexas.edu -OR- Dept. of Astronomy mentat%walt@ngp.utexas.edu University of Texas at Austin UUCP: mentat@ut-ngp.UUCP -OR- {ihnp4,seismo,sally}!ngp!mentat@walt

I forgot who wrote it, but I do have source. John E. Jacobsen University of Wisconsin -- Madison Academic Computing Center

There was a program posted in net.micro.mac a while ago called "readmac" that would convert macpaint images downloaded to a pc to display images that could then be captured by frieze from PCPAINTBRUSH. It is not too big, and I could mail it to you. -- .. that's the biz, sweetheart... Randy Suess chinet - Public Access UN*X (312) 545 7535 (h) (312) 283 0559 (system) ..!ihnp4!chinet!randy

As far as transferring the files from Mac ---> IBM you should be able to find a version of Kermit somewhere. I know of MS Kermit for IBMs, and I would assume that there is a version out for the Mac. Dale McCluskey {ihnp4,hplabs}!hpfcla!dalem

i recall an article in the not so distant past (maybe summer 86) in Byte Magazine about transferring macpaint pics into ibm format. dave brosius

You can use the straight binary settings for the Macintosh Kermit to send files to the PC. I have done this a few times. You can also use a hardware - software package called "pc to mac and back" -- this I haven't used. John E. Jacobsen University of Wisconsin -- Madison Academic Computing Center
