You could check the balance of each public key manually at blockchain.info, but the least effort is probably just load Bitcoin-QT.

i ended up manually sweeping all the private keys into my blockchain.info wallet.

found 1.014 BTC! not much but i'll take it

You could use jackjack's pywallet to dump the private keys from the wallet, and then I assume Multibit can import them. I don't have personal experience with either of those tools, so I unfortunately can't give you specific instructions, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

i was into bitcoin in 2011 and recently found an old hard drive, i thought i had spent all my old coins... but for interests sake i ran wallet-recover (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-private-keywalletdat-data-recovery-tool-25091)

and to my surprise found 198 public/private key pairs. i now have those in a wallet.dat. i'm interested to see if i actually have any money in it (kinda hope i do, but for the life of me i cant remember)

i don't have bitcoin-qt. is there any other method to import the wallet into something like electrum or multibit?
