Yes.  The file formats are exactly the same, so there's no problem.  For
small files, just put them on a floppy disk and use Apple File Exchange or
another program to read them off the disk.  Use the Default or Binary
transfer: no translation required.

For larger libraries, you have several choices.  If you can "zip" them on
the PC and fit them on one diskette, StuffIt Deluxe has an "unzip" command.
The backup program FastBack back up on PCs and restore on Macs.  You could
hook the computers together with a cable and use a telecomm program, or use
a telecomm program over the phone lines, and transfer the libraries that
way.  Or if you have a network, you can send the libraries over the network.

Libraries transferred from DOS won't have the right icon, so start up
EndNote on the Mac, hold down the Shift key and choose Open from the File
menu.  EndNote will reset the icon when you open the library.   Or you can
get a file type conversion program: we have one posted at the ftp site (in
the Utilities directory) with instructions; it's called ENPC2Mac.

I hope this explains the process,

Avi
