Ron,
I am not aware of any programs that will do this... yet. There are currently prodjects under way, and even a format called OMFI (Open Media Format Interchange). I believe folks at Cakewalk (PC DAW), and possibly folks at Metro (Mac DAW) are among some of the first to really go for this sort of thing... but that's just rumor as of yet. There is the possibility that some other folks around here may know more.. please be patiant.

You should be aware that any audio files saved as AIFF or Wave should be interchangable... but a bit of a pain.

the cross-platform DAWs are Live from ableton. Traction from Mackie, SX,SL,SE from Steinberg, and Pro Tools LE from Digidesign.

Hi,
I worked with a keyboard player who was PC based and so I bought a copy of logic big box 6 {and a pc} {its still available for a brief time} and installed it on the mac and pc we could then swap logic files. One thing we had to do though was make sure we were working with the same sound modules otherwise you'd spend an evening getting the same sort of sound out of another module, then he'd have to do the same.

Hope this helps
