Re: translate disks - ine Epistles/Origin of States...

September 6, 2003

Dear , Maybe you've tried this but it worked with my old circa

disks from 1993, etc. Have you tried bringing them up in Notebook?

That's what I did. You will lose all formatting and get some funny

symbols and extra stuff, but you can trim it up nicely, and the cut

and paste it into Word. I still have lots of information on these

disks that are the old DOS format from my old 286 computer, and I can

translate away without a problem. I have ME 2000.

The best, Bee
