MacLAN for Windows 95, 98, and NT. You can download a demo version from the MiramarWeb site and email sales@miramarsys.com for pricing information.TSSTalk from Thursby Systems is basically equivalent in function to PC MacLAN, enablingyour Windows PC to access an AppleTalk network. You can download a demo version fromthe Thursby Web site. The single user Windows 95/98 version costs $149 and the WindowsNT version is $169.MacNFS from Thursby Systems installs on a Mac, allowing you to connect to UNIX NFS fileservers. This is primarily for education or corporate users, as home users are less likely tohave UNIX boxes around. You can download a demo version from the Thursby Web site.The single user version costs $149.Macs and PCs both support TCP/IP connections, so it’s also possible to set up a TCP/IPonlyconnection between them. Although TCP/IP is free, it’s also more complicated to usethan the programs mentioned above. Next month’s Network Guru column will cover settingup and using TCP/IP connections between Macs and PCs.Converting Between File FormatsBefore you go about setting up your network and sharing files, keep in mind that Macs andPCs are still different beasts. Using one of the network translators above doesn’t necessarilysolve the problem of opening Mac files on a PC, or vice versa.When it comes to opening files from other computer platforms, DataViz 3 is pretty much thede facto translation standard. If you need to open Windows PC files on your Mac, useMacLinkPlus. To view Mac disks and open Mac files on your Windows PC, use MacOpeneror Conversions Plus. If you routinely work with a variety of file formats and platforms, thesetranslators will save you big bucks on headache medication.Copyright © 2000 Matthew Glidden.
