Excellent application, better than Data Viz
So I have tons of old files going back to 1987. I have tried over the years (once in 2004, once in 2009) to use DataViz MacLink Plus to migrate the files. The results were spotty and I lost the original creation date of the files when it upgraded.
I used Document converter to convert a bunch of old Office files. It handled Word and Excel incredibly well.
It had trouble now and then with Powerpoint losing formatting on idiosycratic graphics.
Naturally it couldnt open the old Microsoft Chart files and didnt handle some early MacWrite files - however - using Basilisk II I was able to access some of these odds and ends.
My suggestion is to point it to a directory and run it - then double check the results before deleting the old files.
Note you need to add the proper extensions to some files for it to recognize them.
Thus armed with Renamer (a handy utility that easily adds file extensions) and this application I saved hours of opening files and resaving them.
I really cant understand the review that complains about the lack of documentation. You dont need it. The interface is well designed.
The results were superior to MacLinkPlus and the price is a fraction of what I paid for that back in the day. Worth it.
