Hmmm... It wasn't anything by Autodesk perchance - IIRC my old 'copy' of
AutoSketch used a sort of X system. Or am I thinking of DesqView or
DesqView/X?

DoubleSpace. It might be possible to just copy the CVF across - you might need
to have DoubleSpace running on your PC anyway. I don't know if DoubleSpace
likes mounting files without it's additional datafiles, and it might insist on
mounting that CVF as C: when you boot up. However, the last time I used
DoubleSpace was the evening it scrambled my disk instead of creating a new
volume.
