These are conversion filters of some sort, probably left over from the Signature
days. It's odds-on they'll be useless to you anway.

No idea. Probably more IBM stuff now useless. Perhaps the list's Wise Persons
will know.

These are speller files, essentially undchanged from .16 to .17. If you got 'em
with .16 you're golden. Fret not.

Probably a readme file.

All you really want; all you really need is the new editor.exe. If you got that,
you're in business. Here's your best bet. I believe you can download _4.18_ from
the TGRP website. If you got any version of 4.1x loaded the sucker will move in
comfortably and do no damage to anything else. The only difference between .17
and .18 is that the directory displays the date properly as 0N-0N-200N instead
of 0N-0N19200N or somesuch.
