Hell, even M$ can't do it!

I have tons of old Word RFT files that were orphaned by the installation of a 
newer of M$ Word. The upgrade actually deleted older versions of Word and then 
would not open the older files because of security concerns (they were create 
by an older version, duh). It was a nightmare -- as a result, I lost years of 
business correspondence. Now I make z text version of every document I write. 

If I wanted to get those old files back, I will have to set up an older 
computer, reinstall the older version of Word and then transfer those files, 
convert them to text, and bring them back. That's a lot of work because I 
trusted M$ to respect older files, but they don't. In short, don't trust M$.

Cheers,

tedd
