I picked it up moments ago.  Chunked the ZIP archive into a folder on my
OS/2 drive and .. took a look inside the folder with FileFreedom for OS/2.
There in the folder was CONVERT.EXE and it looks much like the directory
for the CONVERT program for WordStar and the directory for that.

OK .. I told FileFreedom to open CONVERT.EXE for me, which would have been
autodone in a DOS-VDM session in OS/2.  Presto! complete program offering
to convert something of Brother to Word files .. in DOS.

OK .. now that this is here there is at least ONE possibility we can
convert all those diskettes to WORD files.  I know I can get them from Word
into WordStar, or upward to whatever WIN files she may need if I can read
the diskettes here.

So the next thing to do is to get hold of the woman in Idaho who has the
problem and explain what is here.  I still have a working Zenith ZVM386
with MS-DOS 5 on it, as well as a working 486-100 AMD box with a full SCSI
system plus IDE.  I'm not sure the MCP2 OS/2 box will look at 720K
diskettes, if this is what they are,  Either way that gets us one
possibility to migrate this stuff if I can get one of the diskettes down
here in Texas to test with the available hardware here.

Thank you very much .. both of you.
