I am trying to extract data from a data file that was part of a Win 3.1
application. The application seems unusable as it crashes on my Win XP.

This file appears to be a document and was bundled with what appears to be a
Visual Basic 3.0 application (Microsoft Jet 300 Dll's). The document file
has no extension and is about 13Mb in size. I thought possibly that this
file could have been created in Microsoft Word 6.0 format however when I
open it in this format the letters are mostly symbols (garbled.) I have also
tried opening it in Word 2002 using different encoding formats, however its
always garbled.

where to from here ?
