Erk. Rather you than me. It all depends on whether the Sage software can read 
the files or if they are exportable in a mutual format. It *should* be 
relatively easy, but you know how these things go...

How much disk free do you have? If it is crashing then it may be that the 
machine is running out of virtual memory. A bigger and faster disk will 
probably ease things somewhat as that seems a likely bottleneck.

Can the WfWG machines 'see' the Unix box (network-wise) at all? Have you 
tried tar'ing a test database file to floppy, un-tar'ing it on the PC and 
importing it?
