    mac roman => ANSI

    Hello,
    I have a user that is getting an error when opening a file sent to him by
    someone creating an original dwg on a Mac. The file does open, but the
    formatting and layout is incorrect.
    The error says :

    The NLS files required to convert the text entities and symbol table names
    in your drawing from code page mac-roman to ANSI_1252 cannot be found or are
    not installed in your system.
    AutoCAD can try to convert text entities and symbol table names using the
    default system code page; however, this might result in a loss of
    information.

    To install the missing NLS files, double-click the Regional Settings icon in
    the Windows Control Panel.

    end

    I don't know how the regional settings in Windows control panel will do
    anything. It is set correctly for my user. Did the original creator (using a
    Mac) have some settings in his regional settings set incorrectly?
    A search of Microsofts site says to install NLS files in windows 95 or 98
    for Mac's for similar problems.
    The file name is Cp_10000.nls, but I can't locate it anywhere.

    Help?

    Thanks,
    Rob
