There are a lot of programs which allow the conversion of files. but they are very expensive. I find that if you hook a PC and a MAC to the same network, making sure each computer has a zip drive, simply transfer the files from one to the other. Of course if you don't a have a network ready for this with a gateway, and Appletalk, it will probably cost you more.

If you mean a PC zip disk:<br>
<br>
Find a friendly Mac user with a zip drive. Dump the files to the desktop, reformat the disk as a zip disk and recopy back to the newly formatted disk.<br>
<br>
If you mean a PC zip archive:<br>
<br>
Same as above the stick all files into Winzip (shareware download from

http://www.winzip.com).<br>

I can do either for you if you wanna post it, email it, send it by morse code or whatever. I'm in London and don't charge for that kind of service.

Normally Illustrator embeds the text as a picture (usually an EPS). Therefore you can have a look at a picture of your text. Whoever used Illustrator to write text must have been having an off day!<br>
