Very old files

I need to resurrect 30+ files that I originally created 22 years ago using CorelDRAW 3. Yep, 1993. Can anyone help me out? I can't seem to find any way to open them.

Thanks!

There is no way of opening ver. 1,2,3 unless you have a 80287 laying around ( That Still Works ) with at least ver.3 on it. It was then that Corel sent everyone who was on there list that the next ver.wouldn't open them. And it was before Corel used WinZip for compression.

No need for really old hardware or OS - Corel V3 happily runs on more modern CPU and OS. I ran it on Pentium II and Win 98 SE. I've seen others on this forum running it on under WinXP.

I currently use Corel 10 and it opens V3 files. I had some V2 files in the past which couldn't be read in V10. For that I had to open them in V3 then save them as V3 CDR files.

I still have access to V3 Corel Draw. If you still need it, I can save them for you as V10 files.

If one uses version 10, one can open version 4 files?
