OK, I'll see what I have for an older GS/OS sitting around.  I think I 
may have kept System 5, but might not have kept 4.

Hmmm...  That'd be a lot of stuff...  I'll start digging through things 
to see what I can find.

Being that we're both on gmail should make any e-mails with files in 
them easier.  Do you have StuffIt Expander on your Classic?  Or anything 
that can deal with binhex (.hqx) files as older Disk Copy formats will 
definitely have a resource fork that has to be dealt with.
