I've done that within the same machine, Which OS were you booted into at the time? IIRC, you said that you were having the problem of viewing the files when you moved them to a different machine? If you took (by using a flash drive or CD) the file to a different machine that didn't have the Classic environment installed, you would have had to open the file in OS-X and had to re-save it a form that would be recognized by the system. The problem appears to me to be a disparity in OS versions on different machines, but maybe I'm wrong on that point.
