I am running into a situation where I need to open some files created with older software that I no longer have. These files are book chapters I previously wrote and now need to revise and/or add to for the new book. Was wondering if anyone has used any of the numerous web sites that offer free software downloads?...like CNET, I think is one of them. I really don't want to buy the software just to open a few files and never use it again. The particular softwares I need are Pagemaker 6.5 and Pagemaker 7.0. Just wondering out loud.

I have boxes of old diskettes loaded with CAD drawings that were compressed with DOS 5's backup utility. My installation set for that OS is corrupt, and Microsoft no longer offers (nor allows the download sites to offer) the executable file that will decompress this format.
Major ticker.
