Ancient files.....?

[jeremy7440]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to dig in my archives for some geometry I haven't used in years. It's so old, its .ge3....that goes back to when MC was a DOS program. The last version that would handle this was version 9. I still have an install disk for version 9, but it won't load on my Windows 7 machine. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Jeremy

How do most of you guys work with old files?

 

1. Do you upgrade every file with each new version of MasterCam?

2. Do you re-create the job in the new version?

3. Or do you keep a old copy of each MasterCam and a old computer.

Thanks for the reply. I found someone that still has an XP computer. It seems like it's a hassle getting my hasp to work with the old software. I'm surprised there isn't some sort of conversion utility. I can't be the only one having this issue.

 

FNMI has some great questions!
