This is not the sort of thing that is usually handled by
IDL. It is normally handled by the proper configuration
of your FTP or file transfer application. All the ones
I know about pretty much do this translation automatically.
You aren't just putting a Mac disk in your PC and hoping
it will work, are you? :-)
