It is significant that you can open them in an old version of FM on your
Mac.

Since MIF files are just ASCII files, perhaps it's that old end-of-line
difference between UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh text files.  I forget which
is which, but one uses LFCR, one uses CR, and one uses LF.  Try opening
your file in BBedit or whatever and saving to the Windows text-file format.
