Open the A2AW db file in Clarisworks on the Performa and then save it as a CW db file. If you can, network the Performa to the new Mac and copy the file to the new Mac. Open it using the MacAW that came on the new Mac, (probably AW 6), and then save the db in the latest AW file format. If you can't network the two machines, what about copying the CW file to a zip disk? Of course this would require both a SCSI & an USB Zip drive. The cheapest route would be the network: it should only cost $50/$60. Are you going to put Bernie ][ The Rescue on one of the new Macs?
