MAC GDL to Windows

Hi, I have a GDL object which has the script written on a Mac platform and won't open on my machine, running Windows xp and Archicad 9.

Does anyone know to change the GDL object so that it will it will work in Windows? Is this possible?

Thanks

The formats are identical. I pass objects between Mac & Windows all the time without any issues.

Tom, did that also work in 9?

Yep. It works currently in Archicad 9 (on both Mac PPC and Mac Intel). It worked on AC8 as well.

The only "problem" is that the Eplorer Thumbnail is off and the Windows Explorer plug does not identify the MAC written objects.
They read OK in Archicad though.
