[Ti] Really, really old Mac OS 1 to 8 work - need translator

[John Griffin]

Yup, that idea is a winner! I will reinstall Classic and then install  
Claris MacWrite Pro (I have the disks somewhere). I am pretty sure  
with the Claris Translators I can open these files and save them in  
Microsoft Word 5 format. Then I should be laughing...

Thanks Chris...
