|| their important stuff in it like their OS disks, Office disks, and

|| happy to get it for them and save them some money; they are a small
|| operation in a backwoods bar in Wisconsin, so they are pretty
|| appreciative of every dollar that I can save them. Can someone
|| please help me identify which version of Publisher was used to
|| create their pub files? I can send you one of their pub files and
|| maybe you could tell me if your version will open it. Or maybe you
|| have a better idea to identify the files?
