Yes, I found that too for the early Deskpro stuff.  It might be possible to 
extract real data from the softpaqs without too much trouble, but for the 
number of times I was expecting to do it, it didn't seem worth the time and 
I just shunted things across to an old 486 machine and wrote images there.
