Amstrad LocoScript files

This offer has been received from a reader, Stephen Younger, following last month's announcement on Amstrad transfers. Mr Younger has more extensive facilities for handling and converting Amstrad files than are provided by IT Services. If you want to take advantage of this generous offer of help please contact Mr Younger directly.

As a follow-up to the article in the December 1997 Newsletter, I would be happy to help anyone who needs to salvage files written on Amstrad PCW machines. My PCW 8512 is still in good working order and has the facility to transfer files from 3" discs to 3.5" 720k disks which have a format which can be read on IBM compatibles. I also have a public domain program written by John Elliott at Oxford that creates a PCW environment within a PC. LocoScript 3 or later with an appropriate printer driver can therefore be run (admittedly very slowly) on a PC so that the layout of the document is preserved. I am also in touch with an expert at extracting data from damaged disks.
