Dear FOLK,

Help please
20210412 OT How to read an old Amstrad file (word type) today?
Friend giving talks to a German class has an old talk about travels
through East Germany ( "DDR") by rail in 1960s. Saved to an Amstrad file.
We have tried various ways to read file. It is on a 3" floppy and copy
on is modern computer is unreadable on his computer.
Any way to read file from his computer via some file system or method?
Thanks for help in advance.
You may find that you can open it in something on FreeDos. Failing that
is probably not to hard to open a text editor and you may find the text
is readable, you may just need to delete the non-text stuff.
