Apple 8100/80AV manual Saving documents onto a DOS-format disk

Sharing assignment lists with other users

The list of assignments is stored in the PC Exchange Preferences file. This file is stored in the Preferences folder inside the System Folder.

You can make sure that every user of Macintosh PC Exchange in your office uses the same assignments. Make copies of the PC Exchange Preferences file and place one copy in the Preferences folder (inside the System Folder) of each user’s Macintosh.

Do not change the name of the PC Exchange Preferences file.

Saving documents onto a DOS-format disk

You save documents onto a DOS-format disk the same way you save them onto a Macintosh disk—by choosing the Save command from the File menu.

IMPORTANT Be sure to leave at least 5K of extra disk space when you save or copy files onto a DOS-format floppy disk. (The Macintosh needs this space to store Macintosh-specific information about files on the disk, such as the location of icons and windows on the Macintosh desktop.)
