Well, it doesn't hurt to look at the files in a text editor and see if they have the info that's wanted, or are garbage. If they have the info, the next question is the format they need to be manipulated into for importing. (I use a combination of Alpha, Word 5.1, and Excel to manipulate text, but I'm weird.) I don't use OS X so I can't help there. Anne -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
