Converting Macintosh Sample Files
About Converting
Sample Files
Applied Biosystems created two conversion programs that prepare
sample files for transfer from a Macintosh computer to computers
running Microsoft Windows NT operating systems, and vice versa.
These sample file conversion programs run only on a Macintosh
computer.
The sample file conversion programs do not perform the file transfer
from computer to computer. They set attributes of the files so that
they can be used on the destination computer. For example, when
transferring a fragment analysis sample file from a Macintosh
computer to a computer running the Windows operating system, a
file extension is required and the conversion program adds .fsa to the
sample file name. For more detailed information on how these
conversion programs function, refer to the SimpleText file entitled
“About Conversion Programs” located in the same folder as the
sample file conversion programs.
Installing
Conversion
Programs
To install the sample file conversion programs on a Macintosh
computer:

Macintosh computer’s CD-ROM drive.
