Do a search on the web for a shareware program called TRANSMAC.  This
is a program that will allow you to write mac diskes on your pc.  This
way you can dload on you pc, write the info to a mac disk and get it
onto your mac.  The comment that you needed the installer disk for the
operating system is correct.  TRANSMAC is limited in it's functions
till you register it and then you can really do some stuff with the web
and you mac.  hope this helps
