I have loaded the working model, its OK. I can't print from it but I can save files. I tried to get the PPT files into Power Point on a Mac. I failed. I used an old IBM to Mac translation package, one which doesn't know about PP. I used a Mac resource editor to patch the Mac file. Has anyone got the full version of PPW exchangeing files with a Mac? I havn't seen much comment from PPW users, is it as good as it looks in the working model?

I have tried the same, and it didn't work for me. It seems that the file format is not the same, as the Windows PP has more features than the Mac PP, like the spreadsheet grapher. I read a PP review (in Byte.. I don't remember) where the author criticizes the performance of PP even on fast 386 machines. It was slow on a 386, so I wasn't surprised when slide updates took several seconds on my 286. - Ayman I.
