RE: Opening old OpenBook Files

With the help of a friend, I was able to put all the OB files onto a thumb 
drive, when I transferred to this computer. You might then have to get a new 
copy of OB, I’d guess, though.

Hi. If you have a PC you can download a demo version of Open Book from 
www.freedomscientific.com <http://www.freedomscientific.com> . You should be 
able to open these files and save them in a different format.

I suspect your best bet would be to open them with Openbook and save in word or 
txt format. 

I'm doubtful you will find anything in Mac or iOS.

If you don't still have Openbook, I'm not sure what you can do.

Maybe do a web search for opening openbook .arc files and see what comes up.

> Before you ditch the old XP box, you may wish to install VirtualBox
  and run your old XP system as a virtual
machine under Mac OS X. It's a bit of a pain at first, but once you get the
hang of it, it enables you to run virtually ALL of your old applications
(I'd suggest *disabling* the XP system's access to the network ... that way
you don't have to worry about unpatched security issues ... if you
absolutely must re-enable networking ... snapshot the VM first, do what you
need to do, disable networking (potentially saving whatever files you've
changed, and restore to the previous snapshot ... that way any new badness
is thrown away ;>).
