Hi Al Nardi,

The current DBMS/copy version 8 still supports version 5 transport formats. So you should be able to transform them directly into version 9 datasets. I only hope you have the files correctly transferred (to Windows format) in terms of character set and end-of-line conversion.

Stat/transfer possibly also may still support that versions format. Their website is not very specific about that.
