Hrm...
maybe the presentation is written with a run-time version of a programme
that won't run with either Multifinder or System 7. In that case, I'm
afraid there probably isn't anything you can do *unless* you can figure out
the following...
Get a copy of VideoWorks 4.0.
Open it, running System 6, with Multifinder off and the RAM cache disabled.
Open the presentation.
Save it as something else, something that PowerPoint could read. If
PowerPoint (an old version, perhaps when it was still Aldus Persuasion) can
read the file as-is, you can skip these steps.
When you have it open in Persuasion or PowerPoint, save it as a standalone
file, if possible. That would *probably* allow you to open it from within
System 7, regardless of the RAM cache status.
If you have or know of another way of converting VideoWorks files (has
anyone ever used this app?), you could probably substitute that for
Persuasion/PowerPoint.
