As I recall, the upgrade from II
to III required no file conversions. I would have been ticked off big
time if I had to spend hours converting. So I am confident that III
will read files written in II.

I've got old floppies with family files on them that I can't read because I don't have the program files. Will Xywrite III open them?XyWrite files are Ascii, so if accessing the data is the main concern, you should be able to open and read the files with any text editor (Notepad, Wordpad, etc.), or indeed with any word-processing program. Of course, any XyWrite formatting commands in those files will be displayed as raw text, not translated into actual formatting on the screen. To view or print the files with formatting, any version of XyWrite will do. The bigger problem may be finding a floppy drive that will read those diskettes. There are external USB drives that will read 3.5" diskettes, but 5.25" floppies may be more of a challenge. |
