Hi friends,

I have some old documents on my computer that I wrote when I was still 
on a very old pre-internet machine that only ran WP51.
I do not have WP51 on this computer, but these documents have been moved 
to the files of my old vectra and then the files of my old vectra were 
moved to my new vectra.
I've been trying to convert them into OpenOffice files, but no succes so 
far.
I can only open them in a somewhat readable form in wordpad, but with a 
lot of little square blocks at the beginning and not all the letters 
look right.

Anyone know how to open these files in  OpenOffice?

Another annoying thing is, that once I opened them in OpenOffice the 
computer immediately makes an OpenOffice file out of the file (that 
remains unreadable) and I do not get the "open with" option again with a 
right mouse click, when I try to open the file again.

Same has happened with files i used to open with WinRAR. Even after 
deleting WinRAR completely, including the install, and installing 
another ZIP programm, when I open these files still they turn up in 
WinRAR files, and I am notified to register (with use of creditcard no 
doubt) and I do not get an "open with" option anymore.

Anyone know what to do about that?

Love,
Desi
