CORA -> editable file?

A user contacted me recently with an interesting problem.  A diskette
with a document in CORA on it, which needed to be edited and reset.

The background -- I think -- is that a typesetting house was contracted
to produce the book, and the contract was terminated before the book
was printed.  The client got possession of the CORA disk, but that's all.
Now the client wants to make some font changes etc..

I have never heard of a CORA-to-anything filter.  Has anyone else?

My suggestion was to print the CORA file (expensive, I know) to bromide,
and then scan the result, and start again from that.  Fiddly, error-prone
and expensive.  But the only thing I could think of.

Any suggestions?
