Got some disks made on a Canon Word Pro 7000, which is a completely
standalone system with a screen and everything.
Except it died, and now I have all these disks. I've searched the net and
tried Winconv so far, but no good.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Jamie,

Some standalone word processors use a
propietary (non DOS/Windows) file format.
Can you read the file names on the disk
from Windows explorer and are you able
to copy the files to your PC?

If the disks aren't readable you may need to
use a 3rd party disk conversion service.
You may also be able to use a 3rd party software
package in some versions of Windows that can read
other disk formats.

Can see the files fine - they end in .000

Here's a couple of lines if the file is opened in notepad/word etc:

----------------------------
?E?SRO stopnames 28 1 04 WPdC WP00
f
?f ????
? D P
----------------------------

etc.
