Now more bad news. I just now tried opening the two other small projects,
and I'm getting exactly the same error message, except for different
numbers, of course. Luckily, the two big projects are OK. And I do have a
backup (3 in. floppy) for one of these small ones. I assume I should
approach this transfer to the computer as if I were transferring a backup
to another computer. But maybe not, since the project is not accessible.

Does any of this make sense? Have I explained it clearly enough?
