The problem is that while the Mac can READ the directory on the PC floppy, it can do very little with it. It can read and write plain ASCII files, but that's about it unless you add some software. Two options that work for me: 1. If you have a network connection between the Mac and PC, a binary FTP works. In either direction, Word recognizes the other format and automatically converts, including formatting, styles, etc. Watch out for a Word 6/Word 5 mismatch. Again, Apple File Exchange, by itself, does NOT work here! 2. Get a translator. I use DataViz MacLink Plus/PC Connect. This package may have more than you need but does give you: a. Apple Mac PC Exchange so PC disks appear on your desktop like Mac disks. A much easier way to look at the contents of the disk. b. MacLinkPlus translator library (handles PC<->Mac Word and a LOT more). c. Apple Mac Easy Open makes translation more transparent. d. PC Connect also gives you PC<->Mac serial file transfer. I guess you probably only really need PC Exchange; this is a more general solution. Hope this helps. Wally ======================================================================== Walter E.

I have a little debate with my friends here about a critically important word. Which one is correct, "Molecular Modeling" and "Molecular Modelling". I was taught in school to use double "l" but I have been in doubt since my textbooks and papers all around me use only one "l". Forgive my English too.

Take your pick. Either is correct. I believe that the "ll" variant is British. In my mind, the single l version is to be preferred, because it wastes less bandwidth ;-).

Here is what you do: (a) If you have WORD for windows then save the file in the MS Word 5.x (Mac) format. (b) don't attempt to open this file from a Mac by clicking on it twice; The best way is to open WORD and then give the appropriate/path and filename. As long as your Mac can read PC disks this method works fine. MacLink Plus Translator is another way to go, but, depending on the version you have, suffers from mistranslated non-ASCII characters.

Both spellings are correct. The American version uses one "l" while the British/European counterpart uses two l's. This is not the only word where such differences exist - Aluminum (U.S.) vs Aluminium is another. Recently the Royal Society of Chemistry has changed the way "Sulphur" used to be spelt. The new spelling adheres to the American standard "Sulfur". When you are in doubt, take a look at journals which are published in the U.S. and Europe.

The same applies to 'tunneled' and 'tunnelled', another common source of confusion in theoretical chemistry. One may assume that the same criteria apply to modelling/modeling and tunneling/tunnelling? I guess it's more important to be self-consistent !
