Working Across Platforms (Win and Mac)
Posted August 14th, 2007 by cschultzQ: I was using TestGen on a Macintosh, but now I have a Windows PC. Can I move the tests and testbanks from my Macintosh to my Windows PC?
A: Yes. Tes (.tst) and testbank (.bok) files created with the Macintosh version of TestGen can be opened and read with the Windows verion of TestGen, assuming the version number of TestGen is the same or higher on the Windows PC.
Q: Can I open a Windows TestGen test or testbank on a Macintosh?
A: The answer is yes, if your Macintosh is running OS 10.x. First install Macintosh TestGen 7.x on your computer. Then, transfer the test (.tst) or testbank (.bok) file from your Windows PC onto your Macintosh. Finally, use the TestGen File Changer, a free download from Tamarack, to convert the PC files to work with the Macintosh TestGen. The newly converted file should be recognized by TestGen so you can open the test or testbank and use it on your Macintosh.
