I have an old version of PM (Aldus v5) that I used to use on my old Macs about once a year, either to access a form I'd created once upon a time, or to create something new.

I've bought an iBook G4, OS 10.4.11, allows me to run OS9 apps until I can afford to get new versions. PM 5 came on floppies, I copied the floppies to CD, but when I tried to install to my iBook from the CD, the Installer asked me for the next floppy.

I also had Illustrator v5 on floppies (I use Illustrator far less than PM!), burned the floppies to a CD, then installed from the CD to my iBook in mere seconds. Obviously a different Installer application.

I don't use either nearly enough to justify spending hundreds of dollars for new programs, and the prospect of LEARNING a new app or version does not make me a happy camper, either.

Can anyone tell me how I get my old PM onto my "new" laptop?
