MacNames helps Windows-Macintosh cross-
platform integration.
It is an Windows utility which is able to
rename
automatically Macintosh files stored on a Windows NT
Server, removing illegal characters and adding
filenames extensions; then Windows can identify the
appropriate applications associated with renamed files.
Some characters like /,
\, <, >, ?, etc. are allowed in Macintosh
filenames but are illegal for most Windows
applications. In addition, Macintosh files do
not need any extensions. A Quark XPress document named
Advert 2000/12/11 - a
usual name in Macintosh world - is not easily handled
by Windows applications. Moreover
this document has no icon and cannot be opened using
double-click. MacNames
renames it automatically in Advert 2000-12-
11.qxd mapping slashs to dashes (for
example) and adding the qxd extension which
is specific to Quark XPress
documents. The renamed document is then usable by
Windows applications, gets its Windows
icon and can be opened using a double-click.
There are many applications allowing to
rename filenames for cross-platform
purpose: MacNames is
probably the only Windows NT/2000 software
dedicated to rename Macintosh files stored on an NT
Server. Benefits are obvious:
