AWD file format

[W. Geraats]

In earlier Windows versions there was a file format with
extension AWD, wich was a Microsoft Fax file. (See
Imaging).
I can not open these files under Windows XP. Is there a
possibility to open these files under Windows XP

This application purportedly will open your files.

Microsoft provides a conversion utility on the Windows XP CD. Look under
i386\win9xmig\fax\awdvstub.exe. Run it with no command line arguments to get its
options. Use the /c command-line switch to convert an AWD file to a TIFF file.
If you want to run Awdvstub.exe from your local machine, rather than from the CD,
you'll also need to copy Faxtiff.dll.
