converting papers from mac to pc

On a Mac, if you want to copy from the resource fork to the data fork, you can use a utility like CopyRSR, but that is Classic-only. If you are not afraid of the terminal, two lines will suffice. For example, to copy from "Paper Textures" (Mac) to "Papers.PAP" (Win), simply type the following two lines in the terminal (assuming that you are in the proper folder):

touch Papers.PAP
cp "Paper Textures"/rsrc Papers.PAP

That's it! You can now take Papers.PAP to your Windows machine and it will be read by Painter.
