You experience problems using a document from a DOS computer.

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.

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.

For more information about working with DOS documents on your Macintosh, see the information about DOS in Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

You see a message that your application program can’t be opened because a file can’t be found.

Power Macintosh programs use special files called shared libraries. Any necessary shared libraries should be installed automatically when you install Power Macintosh programs.

Follow the directions that came with your program to reinstall the program. If the shared library is still missing, contact the software program’s manufacturer for assistance.

You experience problems using an older Macintosh program.

Some older Macintosh programs are not completely compatible with Power Macintosh computers. Check with the program’s manufacturer for compatibility and upgrade information.

Open the Memory control panel and turn off Modern Memory Manager. For more detailed instructions, see “Tips for PowerPC-Based Computers” in the “Memory” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
