- If they are running Mac OS 7.5, even without third party software the mac
- will read PC DOS formatted disks. Also most Mac word processors will read
- PC format word processor files. Not only that, they will write files in
- those formats.
-
- So you could start a document on your IBM using Microsoft Word (Or
- WordPerfect or whatever), take it to work, open and add to it in
- ClarisWorks, WordPerfect, Nisus, (Or <gag> Microsoft Word), save the
- changes in the files original format, then Take it home and finish it on
- your IBM.
-
- Heck this would even work without 7.5 with the right software.
