RE: converted (subverted) Xywrite file

You are apparently using Microsoft Outlook and it apparently
sucked up your XyWrite file.

Make a copy of the .pst file as a backup. Then, in Outlook, go to
File, Import and Export, Export to a file, and export the file as
*.txt.

And it may not work.

Also, do a search of your whole disk for any unique words that
may be in the file. It may be hidden somewhere.

Subject: converted (subverted) Xywrite file


I am using Xy 4.018 in DOS under Windows 98 SE, in a PC running
at 633 mHz.
My 15-year-old updated address file in Xy somehow got converted
to a .pst
file, which only shows up binary code. My only backup is quite
old (gulp).

Can anyone clue me as to whether and how I can reconvert it to
the original
Xywrite, or at least to .txt or .rtf format?

TIA much.
