Ah, I had forgotten about those files.

Well, most of the information there is setting info, so that part can all be used without any rules to be bothered with. 

Here is the writeup I use for Shadow Elves as PCs IMC:


Elf, Shadow Elf 
Shadowelves are a race of elves that have been forced to live underground for generations. Through that time they have adapted to their underground environments. They are distinquished from Wood Elves by their pale white skin and white hair. They are not used to be exposed to direct sunlight and have a dislike for it. Like Wood elves, Shadow Elves have delicate features and pointed ears. They stand between 5 and 5 1/2 feet tall and weigh around 120 pounds. 

Shadowelf Racial Traits:
•+2 intelligence, -2 constitution, shadow elves are clever and quick learners, but they suffer the same physical frailties as other elves.

•Medium size.

•Base speed: 30

•Immunity to magical sleep. +2 bonus to saving throws vs. Enchantment spells. 

•Darkvision 60 feet instead of Low-light vision.

•Proficient with Scimitar and Light Crossbow. All Shadowelves are 
familiar with these weapons instead of the weapons listed in the Player’s Handbook.

•+2 racial bonus to Escape artist, Move silently and Spot. +4 to Hide.

•Do not have the bonuses to Listen, Search and Spot or the ability to find hidden doors.

•Stonecunning: Shadowelves are as familiar with stone constructions and caves as Dwarves.

•Light Sensitivity. –1 to all skill checks, attack rolls and saving throws when in direct sunlight or exposed to light from a continual flame or daylight spell.

•Automatic Languages: Undercommon and Shadowelf. Bonus languages: Dwarf, Draconic, Ignan and Terran.

•Favored Class: Wizard

Note: The light sensitivity feature is stronger than in the original rules, but I decided to make them so due to game balance and the fact that it makes them more distinct.

Shattenalfen:
Shattenalfen use the same rules as Shadowelves, except that their Favored Class is Fighter rather than Wizard. Spell Caster classes can never be favored classes for Hollow World races. (This is a replacement of the rule that a 16 in the primary ability score is required to select that class. It fits better with the 3e rules IMO.)

I'd be curious to hear what other conversions you come up with from those files... :)

If you're looking for cheap downloads of all the old classics try this link:

http://www.svgames.com/downloads.html

I have been shopping there for years and generally find that the quality is quite good.

You have to pay, but usually just $4.74 for each, which I consider cheap for all those wonderful old out-of-print products.
