I have a very old computer that I continue to use but would like to move some
of my work to my newer computer. I have moved a few of the spreadsheets (with
mixed success) and would like to move some of the text files. I am running
Windows XP Home and OOo 2.0.2 (I think). I have some DOS print
the text files should be doable. The worst case would be having to do
a lot of search and replace all's for embedded format codes. .prn
files are a different story.
A .prn file is printed output saved to disk. It's already been
translated from something usable by a program into the codes
Thinking about it further:
Use a program like notepad or any simple text editor, or even better, a
binary editor like hexedit to look at the .prn files directly.
If most of the text you want to keep is visible in relatively large
intact chunks, you can copy the whole file to a temporary file
