The software the Mac has will determine whether they can read the image (sorry I don't know framemaker). As for the disk itself - Macs can read PC formatted disks but not vice versa, so data transfer is ok in that direction. There is one problem lurking in the back of my mind which hopefully someone else can throw more light on for you - I think Mac tiffs and perhaps other images contain an extra control D character at the end so for example a tiff saved in mac format may not necessarily be readable from a pc. Depending on the mac software this may be a problem the other way round too. I think most software takes account of this anyhow so it probably isn't a problem. cheers.
