I am faced with two problems concerning with Windows 3.0.

(1)      I noticed in the MSWord for Windows v.1.1 (a.k.a. WinWord) 
that there's a SAVE file option to save files as a MS Word file for 
Macintosh (a.k.a. MacWord).  Is there a

softwares/hardwares/conversion-procedure to save that MacWord 
file onto a Macintosh formatted disk and open the MacWord file using 
the MSWord for Macintosh?  I'm also interested in MacWord-file-to-
WinWord-file conversion.  (Note: I have tried sending 
the WinWord file to a UNIX host as a binary, then receiving it back 
onto a Mac as a MacBinary file--No success either).

(2)      I have a difficult time printing from an IBM PS/2 model 70 to 
an Apple Laser IINTX printer using MS Windows 3.0 --no success.  
Here are my connections: Printer's RS-232 port (25-pins) to PS/2's 
COM1 port (using a null modem connection).  I also tried the LPT1 
port several times.  The reason for the switch to COM1 is because in 
the printer's USER MANUAL has specific instructions to install the 
printer to a MS-DOS environment.  I used these commands to assign 
the COM port:

MODE COM1:96,N,7,1,P
MODE LPT1:=COM1:

I set the printer's SWITCHES so that it will support MS-DOS 's 
POSTSCRIPT.  And I also set the Windows' data transfer rate at 9600 
Baud.  I made sure that both printer and Windows are using the same 
handshake (i.e. XON/XOFF).  Has anyone with a PC-to-
AppleLaserPrinter successfully tried this?  I'm also interested in 
connecting the PS/2 to AppleTalk so that the PS/2 can use other 
printers.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
