I have a Mac version of a authorware 2 file and need to get it to current
version. Anyone know or aware of the fastest way to do this?

Will I have to do it the old way of going 2 to 3 to 4 to 5, then 7?

Yes, you'll have to do 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 7
At least you can skip 6 and 6.5...
There were Mac and PC versions from version 2 through version 4, I
believe. So once your Mac file is in any of those versions, it can be
converted to the same version on the PC, then the upgrading continued.

I have Authorware 3 for Mac and PC so would do the platform conversion
at that point. Let me know if you need help and what version you can get
the file to on your own, though I don't offer this assistance for free.

Do you have any of those versions? Or can you migrate the file?

Stuff done in Authorware 2 is likely to be fairly simple, since most of the
features we count on today weren't in Authorware then. Authorware 7 is a
dead end at this point. Why not reauthor in a product with a future?

I at least did at one point. I've not fired up any of those old versions
in a long time, so will have to verify I've got everything needed, but
overall, yeap, I should be able to get the product up to the version you
need.

I'd up your ver.2 file to ver.3 on the Mac, then convert that to v.3 on
the PC, then on up to v.7

When I'm back in the home office this evening, I'll try to remember to
check and see that I have all needed versions installed on the Mac and PC.
