i muted that post, if you wish to help re: abandonware in research science, get in contact with your local scientists, it's a huge problem for basically all of us. we need both converters for our data and ways around software needed to run some of our machines - i cannot use a lot of my microscopes without the company's proprietary software that creates the company's proprietary file type.
and like. it's critical i maintain the true originals, as they were generated in their original file type. i have had file type conversion fail on me before, scientists need to be able to go back to our absolute original files. i save all my data in so many backups, but that only helps if i can still read the original files.
