I have a file as per header, sent by colleague.  It was the only
electronic output option he had, and it sounded great at the time.

Problem is, I want it in soft form for digestion into something else -
almost anything else in fact.  But the format baffles everything I
have tried on it.  Obviously I can "copy file.prn lpt1:" at a DOS
prompt, but that wasn't the objective.

Can anyone suggest a redigestion route?

TIA

Peter
