Yikes!
The word "under" means that you are not doing atomic physics experiments.
Very sorry to hear it.
I got more details from the guy with the disks. They are apparently
"360K" PC floppies with XYWRITE files, and he wants to load the file
contents into a "modern"? word processor. So hopefully, somebody can help
him, with a simple COPY *.*, and I think that he now understands that he
might also need to get back a copy of XYWRITE to turn the file content
into something usable.
