Software / Of Macwrite II and Pro
June 05, 2007, 07:21 |
Folks, I administer a database of heritage buildings... part of my job involves data import when a new area is added to our database. The db is MS SQL with a java front-end. The other day my colleague came running ...he had a heap of disks he could not read that contain a study of historic buildings for a new area coming into our database, written in 1989. Of course they were Mac 800kb disks!!!! The files were Macwrite II. I amazed him by simply opening them and saving them as Word (grrrr) files. I knew I had kept my old Macs for a reason!! In fact my LC475 (running System 7.1) has Macrite Pro and Word 5.1, ClarisWorks on board. Of course we can easily purchase Dataviz translators for Windows to do the translations but doing them on the Mac was far more fun!!! |

g'day from australia.... hope your System folders are all running fine and your desktops are clean!!! a bit of history... I remember clearly going to a pre-release presentation on System 7 for techheads. a lot of discussion about 32 bit issues and the new Finder and multitasking etc. also part of the demonstration were previews of MacWrite Pro and Resolve. (I still have both apps on my assorted Macs.) anyway enuff of that... as I said ..g'day and greetings from the land downunder. |
