This won't be as easy as I'd hoped, I don't think...
I never installed OS 9 on my Mac Mini, which currently runs OS X.
In order to install A'ware 3 on the Mac, I gotta have OS 9 installed.
I could possibly do that, just gotta find the install CDs and see if
it's going to bork my current setup or not.

If not, shouldn't be a problem. I forgot about A'ware 3.5 and don't have
it installed on either the Mac or the PC, but pretty sure it was just a
'dot upgrade' and I should be able to convert from A'ware 3 to A'ware 4,
skipping 3.5...but will have to see to be sure.

Otherwise, I do have an old Mac 8100 that should have everything
installed that is needed, but I've not fired it up in years now so not
sure how well it'll work. Will give that a try tomorrow.

If it boots up fine, the process shouldn't be a problem. If I can get OS
Classic (9) installed on the Mac, shouldn't be a problem. Will see....
Of course, if you have any other resources or offers, freely take them up!

Will keep you posted.

I've done a few of these in the past. After you convert from 2 to 3 search
your calcs for "DeletedVariable". Find the corresponding variable in the
origional file and re-create the variable in your version 3 file. Also look
for ExecutingIconID and change it to IconID.
When you do the conversion from 3 to 3.5 look for ExecutingIconID and change
it to IconID (I don't remember if this was done in the 3 -> 3.5 or in the
2 -> 3 version update.

Erik,

if you end up that you cannot make this work, my Mac Mini has OS 9
installed. Between us we could work it out :-)

May take you up on that. Going to see if I can get OS 9 installed on my
Mini too. If it takes a complete re-install, screw it...and we'll chat ;-)
My old 8100 doesn't even have a monitor hooked up anymore and, frankly,
I don't want to deal with trying to get it working...poor old McGal...
