Hello,

	I was recently asked a set of questions with respect to Macs and IBM
PC (clone) machines.  I don't know the FULL TRUTH, so any answers you can
donate would be appreciated greatly.  The questions are:

	1) Can PC-Class machines with 3 1/2" disk drives read/write Mac
		disks?  400k, 800k, or 1.4m Mac disks?
	
	2) Can Microsoft Word files, Created on the Mac, be read by
		Word on the PC without change?  How about PC-Created files,
		can they be read on the Mac?

	please reply directly to me, and I will summarize to the net(s).
	thanks very much in advance,
	chris sterritt
