This would be far more trouble than it's worth, and would require tracking down an old, old copy of DAVE Going from 8.6 to Vista this way, the simplest method would be to use email, actually, if the files aren't so large, or use a web-based file service. <http://www.adrive.com/><http://www.humyo.com/> Both of these services have free options or free trials which is all it would take. But that will require hooking both the Macs and the Vista system to the internet. If you can do this, this is how I'd do it. You can also remove the hard drive from the Mac, connect it with something like this <http://tinyurl.com/d863dr> to the Vista system and read the drive using MacDrive <http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ > (They have a 5-day free trial, which would suffice for what you need to do.) -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
