Re: Apple -> PC xfers
Yes, but...
The files will still need to be converted/imported into a
usable file format for your PC programs to use. (I am
assuming data files of some type as programs are generally
not portable.)
Most programs do not just place ascii data into their data
files, they include special codes to change font and pitch
and some programs encode (compress) the ascii data. You
will not necessarily be able to use a file once transferred
to another type of computer.
You may wish to check your program for a way to export the
data in a standard ascii interchange format, then transfer
the files to the other computer, then import them into your
PC's program. (It'd probably help if you'd specified which
types of data files were to be transferred and what program
you expected to make them work with.)
Hope this helps,
Ed
