There is some software called "Macsee" which will read floppies. It works okay. But so far as I'm aware it won't work with Zips. Your best bet is to find someone with a Mac and a Zip who can copy the files across to a PC formatted Zip disk. He may need to provide the PC Zip cart himself, as I don't *think* the Mac can produce PC formatted Zip carts (although I'd be happy to be proved wrong). Oh, and make sure that the person sending your colleague the files sends the next lot on a PC formatted Zip disk. -- Peter
