[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] .Exe files via the mac?

[Sammy Banawan]

Unfortunately, Adobe will need to provide you with the .cabs if you 
want to install it on your PPC if you don't have access to a PC or 
Virtual PC. Installing some programs is really the only roadblock to 
getting PPCs more popular with mac users right now. Some .exe's are 
just compressed archives that stuffit can expand. If you double click 
on the .exe and use stuffit to open it, you may be able to get at 
what's inside. If that doesn't work, your options are fairly limited. 
I'd bet that the .exe's that contain the pdf files from AA.com are just 
compressed, but I'm pretty sure the Acrobat reader program is a real 
application. :/ Not good news, I know. The only other thing I can think 
of is if you get someone to mail you the .cab file that the .exe 
installs. I don't know if that's doable, but I'll check later tonight.
