well here's how it works: 1. the mac files when copied to a PC are renamed and contain extra information in a folder called resource.frk, plus other files. These cannot be deleted or modified or else it won't work. 2. Windows NT server can be persuaded to allocate some space for MAC-like FS. 3. Burning mac files renames them (usually) (stupid windows) 4. But the CD still works when files are run through FACS convert (wohoo!) in sum: one can back up mac files through a PC but in the end one will have to use facsconvert and naming on files and folders will be twisted beyond recognition. ex. "DAIDS A" was renamed to daid.sa etc. not to mention all the "~" hope this helps anyone stuck in a small hard drive.
