Thanks everyone.
I managed to open a Finale 2.6 program and that brought the older files within reach of Finale 97. Remember the Monk figure? I always thought it looked Inuit or Eskimo for those P.I. Americans.
While I was at it I looked inside the Holiday Disk -- Looks as though it was a percursor to the plug-in side of things with scripts for aligning expressions,acci's et al.
Thanks for all advice and esp. the direct help from Phil Daley.

FinMac 2.X will definitely run in real System 9--I don't know about Classic. But it won't print, so all such files need to be upgraded.
2.X files can definitely be opened in both 2K2 and 2K4, even though 2K2 doesn't recognize them as Finale files (choose the "All Files" option in the Open dialog).

On the contrary, I believe Fin04 added considerable *improvements* the upgrade routine for pre v3 files.
But I highly recommend upgrading the older files to 2.6.3 first. I think I can still to run 2.6.3 under Classic.

Actually, I seem to remember that Finale dropped backwards compatibility
for early versions some time ago, no?
