Dear netters,

        I have files created on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop on the Mac side. 
I saved them in IBM EPS (Illustrator) and IBM TIFF (Photoshop) formats. 
I used Apple File Exchange to transfer the file to PC, but WordPerfect for 
the Windows won't read it (unknown file format). Is there any utilities on 
either IBM or Mac sides (both commercial and shareware) to do this? I plan 
to upload the Mac files to my Unix account with the setting of ascii for ftp, then 
download them to a PC machine. Will this work?
I suppose EPS is composed of text. How about TIFF, should I use binary 
or ascii format? 

BTW, is there a site that has the FAQ or tips on graphic file transfer between
different platforms?
 
Thank you very much for any info.

Peter Liu
