I don't know how much ACT has changed it's file format, it has changed
ownership a few times. I stopped using it and converted my files back
in the day when v4 came out. Once they abandoned the Mac version, I
lost track of it. I can't remember for sure what format you need to
use as an export from ACT, but I think it was dbf, or dbase. If you
can export it as Text, that would be good for your needs too.
Here is a file I ran across after my conversion (isn't that the way),
and I have recommended from time to time on other lists.
Unfortunately, fmfiles dot com which ceased to exist about the time
version 7 was released.

will be of help.
