Hi, This won't be a complete answer. I don't use mac. But I have Mathematica on two systems, win98 and linux. There is no complication in exchanging the notebook files between systems. I read that .nb files are system independent. They are ascii files. In my opinion, you should do something. Try MathGroup. bye, Borut Tom De Vries <tdevries at shop.westworld.ca> wrote in message news:8o4rca$f23 at smc.vnet.net... > Hello! > > I sent a question a little while back but didn't make myself really clear. > > I am using a Mac and am getting Mathematica files from students, sent to me > via email.
