Apologies for being OT, but if anyone knows the answer to this question, it
will be someone on this list. I don’t have a Mac and know virtually nothing
about them.
I have a client who wants an application ported from Mac (not OSX) to a PC.
Likely target OS is Linux, but could be Windows. He has a zip drive but no CD
burner on the Mac.
How can his source code (hierarchy of folders, about 30MB), be moved from the
Mac to a PC? Is there a way to get the older Mac OS (don’t know what version)
to write a zip disk that will be readable in Linux or Windows? Or
alternatively, is there some utility to read a Mac-made zip disk in Linux?
(Actually, this isn’t totally OT since I plan to use SDL for the GUI :o)
Can’t you just hook the computers up in a network and send the file or send
it via internet?
if that’s not an option you could always print the code with a printer and
retype it again. For pictures you could solve it with using a digital camera
annd taking pictures of his monitor displaying the image

I believe the client has a NIC in the Mac, but he doesn’t know how to
transfer the files over a network from the Mac to a PC (and I sure don’t).
Use FTP.
Launch ftp server on Linux (like proftpd) or Windows (Serv-U,
FileZilla…). Connect from Mac and upload. There are a lot of ftp
clients for Mac, for example, this one works on both OS X and classic:
they should be able to talk over a network pretty easily> ----- Original Message -----

Well I’ve been trying to compile aedGUI under windows. For some unknown
and mysterious reason I can’t install win 2000, XP or simil in my computer. So
I can’t use the VC7 with the project file provided with the source code of
aedGUI. I tried with VC6 but I receive a lot of error messages. I set the
project’s properties with SDL and Freetype “correctly” but I don’t know what
Im doing wrong.
The fact is I want use aedGUI but I can’t get the binary. Is there someone who
already have the lib and the dll ready to work and want to send it to me in
some way? mail, ftp, etc ?
I also appreciate some hint or tip to compile it in VC6.
It might help if you told us what the errors you’re
getting are.
