I still have the Filemaker 4 thru 5 disks, and a G3 to run them on

Assuming your fies aren't confidential (and are of e-mailalble size), 
I'd be happy to convert them (assuming I can) and send them back to you.

(I may even still backups of FM Pro 1 and FM 2, but I'm not sure they'll 
run on my G3 with 9.1)

I may have Excel 2, 4 & 5, if they haven't been thrown out.
