Hi, At Bristol, we have the unfortunate situation of the Organic and Inorganic Depts using Macs, while we in Physical Chemistry (including me, the webmaster), use PCs and UNIX. So when I have to create web pages for staff members in org/inorg chemistry, I keep on running into the problems of (a) converting their Mac files to PC-readable ones, and (b) converting their Mac Chemdraw diagrams into gif files. The text is just about do-able, but I'm having real problems converting the Chemdraw files. The best I've come up with is to get the author to print out a good quality hard copy, and I scan it in using Windows formatting. But there must be a better way!! Does anybody know of a simple utility program, or method, that will allow me to do this without all the faffing around? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Paul May, School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, UK tel: +44 (0)117 9287667, fax: +44 (0)117 9251295 email: paul.may@bris.ac.uk WWW: http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/staff/pwm.htm "Another squashed hedgehog in the gutter of the information superhighway" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
