Hi Guys,
My power mac 9600 running OS 7.6.1 doesn't have an internet connection and I'm trying to load 4D [mac] software (which is supported by OS 7.6.1). I downloaded the mac software in .hqx files off of the internet using a PC, burned them to a disk and tried running it on the mac but it didn't work. The mac doesn't have Stuffit, (and Stuffit only comes in .hqx files off of the internet). So I loaded the PC version of Stuffit on my PC, unzipped it and burned it to a disk, tried loading it on the mac and it still doesn't work. I then emailed the .hqx to a buddy who had Stuffit on his mac and he emailed the unzipped file back to me, I tried loading it on the mac and it still didn't work.
The OS doesn't recognize any of the file types that I'm trying to load. It asks me what application I would like to open the file with, when hypothetically the file should be an executable. It doesn't know what to do with .hqx or .sit or .sea, nor does it know what should be the actual executable file.
Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Thoughts?
Thanks,
- Eric
