I started with an early Filemaker, and I think I had to find a copy of Filemaker Pro 5 as an intermediary to converting to 8, which I have been using for many years. This was easier than going via one of the many formats in which FM can export, because many of them (if not all) place limits on the number of characters in each field, which FM does not. I would not want to discover later that long entries had been truncated. And, like other older programmes, it travels quite happily on a clone HD from Mac to Mac. Four: There must be Mac enthusiasts who are at home with soldering irons and data analysers, and don't find Mac main boards too daunting to touch, and would think nothing of finding and reading the ROM. But I don't come across them!</blockquote>
