The computer hasn't been changed for at least 3 years, the disk ran perfectly well when I used it last (definately in the last 12 months and probably in the last 6), when the computer was in another room. It runs on Windows 93 and 3.1 which is probably the trouble. I suspect that upgrades and automatic cleanups have deleted the programmes we use least - 93 being one of them. Only one disk uses 93 and I'm trying to access it.

I've run a search and there are plenty of these particular files cached, but when I try to open them, it comes up as an unrecognised format. All attempts to open them have failed to come up with a programme so I guess I have to accept that they are lost to me.

To heap more coals onto the flame of disappointment, Raven kitty hasn't been seen for nearly 24 hours now. I hope he's just shut in a room somewhere in one of the houses down the street, rather than anything more sinister.
