[DM-MUG] genealogy data on a ZIP drive

I'm looking for suggestions.  We used the program "Reunion" about 8  
years ago, inputting a lot of genealogy data and backed it up on a ZIP  
250 disk.  A computer crash, time out to care for my mom & a 5 year  
old business later, I'm trying to get the data back in a format I can  
use.  I took the ZIP disk to my MAC dealer in Cedar Falls & they  
thought they would be able to burn the data onto a CD.  However, they  
said it was a "funny" "different" format and they couldn't retrieve  
it.  I can't run the Reunion 7 software on my current IMAC OS10.5+  
because it won't run Classic.  When I found what I think is the data  
backed up another place, & tried to open it on my iBook, which still  
will run Classic, I get an error message.  Thanks for your input &  
suggestions in advance.  Carolyn Moe
