This is a problem with the file type and creator codes on the Mac (which
control the icons and other aspects of the Mac interface).

If you have EndNote 1.3 or EndNote Plus 1.1 or greater, you can open PC
libraries on the Mac.  First, start EndNote.  Then hold the Shift key down
and choose Open from the File menu.  Instead of showing you EndNote
libraries only, the program will show you all sorts of files in the Open
dialog.  When you choose the library copied from the PC, EndNote will update
the codes automatically, and the icon will be updated as well.

To convert EndNote journals and styles files, you need to use a program to
change the type and creator codes.  You can use ResEdit, or a program that I
have posted to the ftp site called TypeResolve.  It's in an archive called
EndNotePC2Mac, stuffed and binhexed with instructions.  The archive is at
magic.ucsb.edu  and you can get to it with TurboGopher.  If you use ftp,
type cd /pub/endnote to find this file.  It's either in the utilities
directory, or the incoming directory.
