I have three complete 486DX pc's with DOS and Windows 311 and three complete Pentium computers with Windows 95 and NT in my brother's barn, and I have copies of all files three places: There, at home and in online backup. And when I need something I convert it in stages (early Word Perfect into later Word Perfect and then into Word) or look at them on the computers from that age. What I do not do is to expect anybody to support the older file formats in anything.
You need to discover VMWare Player and create some virtual machines for DOS WFW3.11, 95, and NT (suppose you have 3.51 and 4)
