The two PC to Mac Cleaners can be used to help make non-Macintosh files readable on Macintosh systems.

PC to Mac File Types

This cleaner looks for a non-Mac extension on a file name such as .DOC or .html, and uses this to set the Macintosh type and creator codes of the file, allowing the Mac System to identify the format of the file, and which program it should be opened in.

To specify a mapping, type the extension (without the period) in the PC Extension field, and the type and creator codes in the two Mac Code fields. Click the Mac Code : button to pick up these codes from any Mac file. Click Add to add the specified mapping to the list. To select a mapping in the list, click it. To remove the selected mapping, click Remove. To change the selected mapping to the one specified in the fields below, click Modify.

PC to Mac Suffixes

This cleaner replaces the non-Mac extension on a file name with a descriptive suffix. It is recommended that this is used in conjunction with the PC to Mac File Types cleaner, because a file's type will be hard to identify once its extension is replaced.

To specify a mapping, type the extension (without the period) in the PC Extension field, and the descriptive suffix in the Mac Suffix field. Click Add to add the specified mapping to the list. To select a mapping in the list, click it. To remove the selected mapping, click Remove. To change the selected mapping to the one specified in the fields below, click Modify.

Note :  Balloon help is available for all menu and dialog items.
