Importing from OS9 Japanese Entourage 2001 to OSX Entourage

[Daniel]

Hello,

I have a new Aplle G3 running OS X, and I was wondering if anyone
might be able to help me find a back door to import old messages
Entourage 2001 on an older laptop running OS 9.0. My old laptop is
running a Japanese OS and my Entourage is also a Japanese version, so
I can't install it on my new Mac. (OS X has no problem with Japanese
software, but the classic mode does not have Japanese language
support). I have tried to just place all the Entourage files on my
hard disk and hope the new Entourage version would find them, but it
doesn't. I have read that I need to actually install the Entourage
2001 software on my new Mac for the new version to recognize it, but
since I can't do that, I was wondering if there is any way around
this. Or, if anyone has any ideas for how I can simply pull out all my
own mail files and be able to access them by name/date, etc., I'd like
to hear about that too. Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Daniel

I think you only need to have the Office 2001 program files available when
you import your data into X. Insert your Office 2001 CD, Launch Entourage X,
choose import, select your 2001 data folder, and see if that works.
