Another option, kludgy in its approach, but with a strong likelihood of 
working is to save the scripts as text on OS9 and then reopen them as 
scripts in OSX.

Trivia question:  In Robert Heinlein's Children's classic, "The Star 
Beast," Lummox was growing what as a hobby?

Re: OS9 'Classic' compiled Applescripts can't be read on OSX. Any 
workarounds or solutions?






It sounds like you've lost some information.  Are the CD and USB 
Flash drive formatted with HFS+? You might be losing the resource 
fork in the transition.  If possible, try creating an archive of the 
items on Mac OS 9 (e.g. with Stuffit) and then unstuff them on OS X.
