I'll take you up on the offer, in case you have any more luck than me. Half the problem I was having anyway, was working out which file had the family tree in it. I'll name my files with care in future.... If you can't get it to work either, I'll contact the acorn newsgroups, and see if anyone can convert it there - At least I know which file to send, thanks to arcem. I'll follow up off list with an email with the file as an attachment, if that is okay with you.
