My graphics designer has sent me some logos to look at on a cd. Unfortunately its for Mac. He's gone away for a couple of weeks and I really could do with taking a look at the designs and printing a few off. Is it possible to buy some kind of emulator program? Or is it not as simple as that?
Bit desperate so any help would be great.

I've got a Mac - what format are they?

In most cases, because the Mac tolerates the PC , the files are cross-platform compatible.....

I believe it's a bit difficult as you really need a Mac ROM - which are licensed. However if you want to dig about there is the Open Source emulator Basilisk II.

EPSF = Encapsulated PostScript File. I can imagine Photoshop would read it. if you haven't got access to PS, use Ghostscript

Sorted.
This is how I did it.
I downloaded TransMac http://www.sharewaresoft.com/TransMac-download-3085.htm
It's a Windows program that enables you to copy to and from Macintosh discs. Very easy to use and could be useful in the future.
Then, (thanks to class_A )I opened the file on Photoshop and hey presto logos galore.
I'm sure I could have done it in other ways but this worked well. Thanks everyone.
