Destiny, need to know a couple things. What system are you using NOW?
are you still on a II, a PC, a Mac?
If you're on a PC or Mac, you need to get those floopies (if they're
5.25") 'turned' into 3.5" - that is, find someone with a IIGS that can
copy the data from teh 5.25" disks to the 3.5" disks. If you're on a
later Mac, it's a piece of cake...just put the disk in, open up
clarisworks, and go for it. If you're on a PC, you'll still need a Mac as
a 'go betwen' to get the data onto ms-dos formatted disks. I'm presuming
the data was created with Appleworks?
Please email me at gesaikin@sqc.com, and I can help you with the answers
to the above questions.
