Hi
I used to write on a Mac Classic, saving to floppy disks, using 'Professional Composer and 'Professional Performer'. Some were for notation and others were midi files for playback/audio. These are now all showing up as 'Unix Executable File'. I tried changing the file type to .mid but could not import or open in any program. Does anyone have any advice on this? thanks

You've already got your answer over on the official forum. I couldn't answer you there, let's see if the other two 'answerers' on here know anything more! :)

Thanks Andy - yes they were good suggestions on the other forum - I'm new to the forum thing is it bad form to post in both places?
