They were backed up to a floppy using the "backup" in start/programs/accessories/system tools/backup in windows 95. When I tried to restore them from the same location in my new computer with Win 98se they were not recognized. The files had the backup extension of *.q something as I remember. At that time I did not have SpanDisk and the files were too large for one floppy, so I used the builtin backup function. Duh! Beverly Don wrote: >What type of files are these?
