Apple 640 manual You experience problems using a DOS document

You experience problems using a DOS document.

If you can’t open a DOS document using a Macintosh program, try the following:

mOpen the document from within the program by choosing Open in the program’s File menu.

mUse the PC Exchange control panel to specify which Macintosh program will open the document.

If a DOS document is displayed incorrectly, or you see strange codes or characters in the document, try one of the following:

mYour application program may have special procedures for opening and saving documents with different file formats. See the information that came with your program, or call the program’s publisher.

mTry opening the document in another program.

Note: Some characters that can be displayed on the Macintosh are not accurately displayed on DOS computers, and vice versa.
