Hi ! I've been asked to help an 'old' Mac user (OS 9) running P4...

Is there a legitimate source for the classic MaConvertor, to allow import of 'Win' format freebies ??

Sadly, my 'deep search' has drawn a blank.

Snags are the 'Soft-Rabbit' site is gone, the German mirror is down, the WayBack cache is blocked by 'no robots' flag.

A thought: Was MaConvertor functionality bundled with any later Poser version that would still run under OS 9 and be recent enough to register ?? I can find no documentation on cross-platform compatibility; it is as if the 'other' format doesn't exist beyond the #/@ icons at check-out stage...

After a decade out from Poser, I'm still getting to grips with the labyrinthine P11Pro on my Win'10 CAD workstation-- 8-core AMD, 32 GB, twin graphics cards driving three wide-screen displays. I've managed to salvage much P3 & P4 content from my archives, have loaded my never-run P7's content plus the P5~6~7 'supplementary' packs...

Added : Sorry, I don't know why the paragraph in the middle is bold & zoomed. I cannot fix format... Ha ! I took out my break-line of hyphens !!
