I tried that one, Peter, believe it or not.
Unfortunately, I think it needs a specific file name for the "old"
address book, and I don't know what it is.
My new copy of The Bat! is in drive C (the master drive), but the old
copy is now in drive D (a slave drive), and when I change directories, I
don't know the specific address book file (in the old directory) to
select, etc.

It's probably still there, but I can't access it because the "old" program
won't open in drive D. Wait a minute...

Yes, okay, that worked(!), but...
I was able to find the original key and key check sum...but not the
password. :(
I tried using several of my usual passwords, but none of them worked,
and none of my old, saved messages contained it.

Yes, I think I know how to do that now!
But still no password, and no old address book.
:(

Yes, very. You don't want to see me on TV, eh?
It wouldn't be a pretty sight...
