Jay, As others have said it is not a text file nor any other user readable file type. Like most computer files there are 3rd party utilities to change one format to most any other but they normally are not worrth the time and effort expended and are certainly beyond the scope as non techie users and this list. Not to mention it is a good way to corrupt the proprietary file which then would cause it not to work with Legacy at all. Furthermore it might cause Legacy to crash due to some error although I do not know that and don't intend to find out
Nice thought but a no go.
