[Freehand] legacy files (vv)

[Vladimir Vooss]

Sorry to jump in on this thread, but I suddenly am in the same 
position. Worse yet, I have, inadvertantly thrown away my FH8 disk - 
I've got backups of the FH8.x updater - but no parent disk.  Is there 
anyone who would consider loaning or selling me their FH8? I have 
actually setup a 9600 with OS 9.0.4 to run all my legacy music 
programs, and there are graphics works attached to this - but no way 
of opening them up, which if I could, I would be able to continue on 
some lines of thought that I'd started and then abandoned - until 
now.  If anyone can help, pleaselet me know.

Thanks in advance,

Vladimir Vooss
