I have floppies made on Mac about 10 yerars ago. I would like to convert them to PC, in my PC. Is there a cheap program that would read them in my PC and convert?

Years ago, I bought Conversions Plus by Dataviz. I was communicating with a fellow 1000 miles away and we were mailing back and forth Pagemaker files on a floppy disk. It will transfer "compatible" files between Mac and Microsoft computers. There were a few exceptions, in that certain files would go from Word for the Mac to Word 2 or something. It will not run, nor transfer software or running programs. Only the output files.

I got an update to Conversions plus a few years afterwards. Oddly, it would not allow conversions of earlier software. I could not go from the Word for Mac files to Word 6 file format. Thus, the original software was set up in one hole of the computer and the update was in another. If your files are a good ten years old, you then need the version that was compatible with the Windows 3.1 O.S. After converting from Mac, into a P.C. format, then convert again to a more modern version. Takes me two steps.
