Windows XP: Convert Mac WAFF &CLPT files to PC
Convert Mac WAFF &CLPT files to PC
by mocean11 - 10/12/07 2:01 PMI had an Apple G4 and I have a Vaio laptop running XP. My Mac exploded. I had everything backed up and I can see all the docs, but I can't view all of them.
I've converted the image files, no problem. However, I have WAFF files (IE for Mac web archives) that I am unable to view on my PC. I also have CLPT files (clipping files made on the Mac) that I am unable to view on my PC. I can't find any software that allows me to either convert the files or even view them on my PC. I'm desperate as I need these files for work.
There must be a way for me to view these files. All my searching on the Internet has been futile.
Any ideas? Can anyone point me in the direction of sw that converts these files? Changing the ext's to .doc doesn't do anything.
Thanks in advance for any tidbits of wisdom you can offer.

Thanks. I did comb through this forum before asking my question and I saw that thread. I was very excited until I realized both apps run on OSX. They are not apps I can run from my PC to convert the WAFF and CLPT files.
I just can't believe there isn't something out there that I can run on my PC that will decipher thesehttp://forums.cnet.com/5208-6035_102-0.html?forumID=5&threadID=267713&messageID=2605129
Cancel files. I looked into Dataviz's Conversions Plus, but that won't translate the above files either.
I'm so frustrated over this. If I'd known this was going to be such an issue, I would have converted the files before the Mac went down just to have them.
Anyway, thank you...

Oh hey, now there's an idea! Thank you. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Awesome. Thanks... It is amazing that there doesn't seem to be any software out there that will convert these files. It's certainly a lesson for when I get another Mac... I'll convert everything as I go.
Thank you again. What an easy solution:-)
