Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 125)

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:
m Open the document from within the program by choosing Open in the
program’s File menu.
m Use the PC Exchange control panel (in the Control Panels folder in the
Apple [K] menu) 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:
m Your application program may have special procedures for opening and
saving documents with different file formats. See the information that
came with your program, or call the program’s publisher.
m Try opening the document in another program.
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,
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.
Macintosh programs 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 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.
