Apple Macintosh 6500 - Manual (Page 140)

You experience problems using a document from a DOS computer.
If you can’t open a DOS document using a Macintosh application, try the
following:
m Open the document from within the program by choosing Open in the
application’s File menu.
m Use the PC Exchange control panel (in the Control Panels folder, available
in the Apple [K] menu) to specify which Macintosh application 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:
m Your application may have special procedures for opening and saving
documents with different file formats. See the information that came with
your application, or call the application’s publisher.
m Try opening the document in another application.
Note: Some characters that can be displayed on the Macintosh are not
accurately displayed on DOS computers.
For more information about working with DOS documents on your
Macintosh, see the information about using DOS in Macintosh Guide (or
Mac OS Guide), available in the Guide (h) menu.
You see a message that your application can’t be opened because a file can’t be found.
Macintosh applications designed specifically for the PowerPC microprocessor
(also called “native” applications) use special files called shared libraries. Any
necessary shared libraries should be installed automatically when you install
these special Macintosh applications.
Follow the directions that came with your application to reinstall the
application. If the shared library is still missing, contact the software
application’s manufacturer for assistance.
