Alex,
There is no converter that makes Project 2000 files readable directly by
Project 98. There are two choices. Have the person who sent you the
Project 2000 file save it in Project 98 format. Then you can open it. If
for some reason you cannot have the originator of the file save it in
Project 98 format and you don't mind sending the file over the internet,
you may send it to me via e-mail. If it is not corrupted, I will put it
in a format that you can read with Project 98.
