Help HN: Can’t Open Childhood Files
by twooclock on Hacker News.
Hello HN,
I was clearing my old house and got a box with a 100+ 3½ floppy disks. All except one working! Among others I got DisplayWriter 4.0, OS/4 Warp Slovenian, dBase IV, Clipper, PowerPoint 4.0, Netscape Navigator 3.0, etc. I found also some files with .CHT and .IMG extension which I can’t find any software to open them. I know I made them, but unfortunately I can’t remember which software was used. There is my family tree and chart of my height growing (which I’d like to compare now with my kids). Some files I uploaded here: https://ift.tt/yX8Irtx
Files timestamp is 1990 and 1991. Please help me find appropriate software! So far I tried (does not work):
-ABC Flowcharter 3.01
-IBM Storyboard Plus 1.01 (5.25)
-Harvard Graphics for Windows 4.0
-Harvard Graphics for Windows 2.0 (3.5)
-HarvardGraphicsViewer
-PowerPoint 98 Googled, checked file.org, WinWorld, … loosing hope… really makes me think about digital preservation. Thank you!
