However, when I tried to open an existing Word 97 file from a floppy, the
dialog boxed greyed out and the machine froze--that is after nothing
happened for a minute or so, I found that Abiword was described by Win95 as
"(not responding)".
Abiword would open some old WordPerfect 5.1 files on the same disk; it
didn't convert them but displayed all the coding and many odd characters,
etc., but it did open them.
Suggestions?
