helpful. First, some PC programs and Mac programs can handle the same image file formats. For instance, I think programs on both platforms can handle TIFF file format. So if your PC with the scanner can save the file as a TIFF file, and you have a program on the Mac that can read TIFF, you're almost done. You just have to put the PC TIFF file on a floppy, and use AFE to copy that file (using the default binary translator) onto the Mac. If you don't have programs that use common file formats, I'd guess that you have to buy a commercial AFE filter, such as one from DataViz. There's a FREE program for the Mac called IMAGE that can handle a number of image file formats. It's available at a number of Internet FTP sites.
