Mac PC-Manager™ Lite

NOTE:

- Automatically mounts the Macintosh- formatted or DOS-formatted PC cards.

-Links JPEG image files to Adobe PhotoDeluxe™.

¥The DOS format is used by IBM PC/AT compatible computers and MinoltaÕs digital still cameras. The files stored on a DOS-for- matted PC card are DOS files.

¥Mac-PC Manager Lite is able to read DOS text files. However, DOS uses CR (carriage return) as well as LF (line field) while Macintosh only uses CR. When using Mac-PC Manager Lite with DOS text files LF will appear as a blank space.

¥Windows 95 allows 255 characters to be used for a file name. Macintosh file names are limited to 31 characters. When using Mac-PC Manager Lite to mount a DOS file with more than 31 characters the title will appear reduced. See the example below.
