Re: PC utilities to read Deluxe Write and Writer's Choice formatted files

["Theusch Family" <theusch@centurytel.net>]

Sounds like a nice problem!!!

I know nothing about the format of these files or the programs which wrote
them.

However, newer versions of Microsoft Word ('97?? or later) have an import
filter called "Recover text from any file" .

I am not sure this will work, but, if you have Word, do a file--open.  In
the "show files of type" drop-down box, choose "Recover text from any file"
.  From there, open your GS file.

Have you ever tried to bounce a brick before?

Good luck, larva_jt1@yahoo.com
