Using Translation Tables with the Mac
All ETU commands in which data translation occurs include the TRANSILE parameter. The default value for this parameter is TRANSLATE, which exists for translating PC data – not Mac data. If you use a Mac you must change the default value to MACTAB. (If you create a different translation table, then you can specify the new table.)
As an example, the screen in Figure
MACTAB.
