I didn't use any version of Macwrite. I looked at the raw data and it isn't
compressed. That should rule out Macwrite if what I read this morning about
how Macwrite stores documents is correct. Macwrite uses compression, this
text is uncompressed ipso facto it isn't Macwrite at all.

Have you any evidence it's indeed Macwrite? Are you saying you can't open it
with a newer version of Macwrite? That *would* be the expectation if the
file weren't Macwrite after all wouldn't it then ;-)

Bill, who's never used Macwrite or indeed a Mac
