Why doesn Panorama recognize a database copied from the PC to the Mac?

The Macintosh uses special hidden tags (called type/creator codes) to identify the usage of each type of file. Panorama cannot recognize a database unless these tags are present. Since the PC (Windows) does not use these tags, the tags are not present when a file is copied from the PC to the Mac. You can use the Platform Converter wizard to add these tags to files copied from a Windows PC system. See Chapter 27 of the Panorama Handbook for more information about this wizard and setting up cross platform databases. Back to top.
