Hello All,
   Recently, I've been trying to help some folks not on the net with their  
new installation of NS 3.0.  One thing they really need this for is to  
transfer (mainly rtf) files to Mac disks.  Now this seems to work fine on  
my machine (non-turbo mono station 20/105) but their machines just seem to  
spit the disk back in their face.
   Now, they can and have transferred the files using FloppyWorks, but  
they want to avoid this.  I remember someone posting some info on some  
sort of problem with the Mac file system when using FW under 3.0.  A  
search of the FAQ and a WAIS archive of the last 10 days of this group  
revealed nothing.
   Can someone remind me what the problem might be and/or tell me how to  
search through any older archives of this group?

   Thanks,

Jim
