Apologies if this is a faq ...

Transferring an EndNote database from Mac to PC is no problem at all; it
simply works.  Transferring back again, the Mac does not recognise it as an
End Note database until I ResEdit the file to change the type and creator
from TEXT and McSk to ENDB and ENDN, because there is no resource fork on
the PC file.

I am very reluctant to take the alternative route of export/import, if only
because of the time it takes (the database is currently 2200 refs).

Any suggestions for a cleaner method of PC -> Mac transfer?
