There is no way Leo can read old external files, and I have no plans to do
so.

Instead, I'm working on a script that will convert old-style external files
to outlines. This should allow you to recover all data in the external
file, with perhaps a few minor differences regarding whitespace and Leo
directives. A first draft is working, but it needs a rewrite. I hope to
have something to show later today.

In short, recovering old .leo files will be done in two steps: recovering
the data in the outline itself, and recovering the data in all external
files.
