Hi Mike, Just a thought here, but maybe you could email your recipe file off of your Zip disk to one of our more knowledgable 'puter folks here (read: more knowledgable than me--the number could be legion!!) and they could take a shot and opening the file for you and then send it back in a format that you might be able to get into. Just a thought. I'd be willing to give it a shot if you'd like. If nothing else, I can forward it to my local 'puter guru. He's magic! LOL Best, SueB
