Speaking of dead programs - does anyone know of a reasonably priced
way to extract the program "source" of old Magic programs?
Background: my gliding club (Megido Soaring Center) has an ancient

Ooh, that's wonderful news. It usually means that you can change numbers
About converting QText 5.x files:
I had the same problem. The trick was first to import them to QText 8,
