Converting VERY Old Database

SOLVED

Hi,

I am trying to access data from MB6, yes Master Builder 6, circa 1996-99.  Not surprisingly, if I try to open it with Sage 100 Contractor 2014 (the oldest version I have access to), it fails saying the data version is older than 12.1 and must be upgraded before it can be accessed.  Is there any way to update the old database so that it's readable to either Sage 100 Contractor 2014, or less likely, the current 2022 Contractor?? I do not have any of the old software to install.  Any help would be appreciated.

    After some deep diving, I managed to install MB7, version 7.11.  It has a feature to convert from MB6 (7-6, crazy that the program is basically the same decades later), which is nice, but nothing for earlier databases.  Given the extremely rare likelihood of anyone needing to resurrect 30 year old data, I'll just go ahead and close this one out.
