Okay...In the US version of Word 95 and 97for Windoze, there is no option
"Recover Text" or anything like this. The is *only* options for opening are
either Word documents of various flavors or other word processing/text
editor formats, including unicode. However, using *any* of these formats to
try to open a .PKG file yeilds garbage, barely readable, with control
characters in between each character. On *my* version(s) of WinWord, it
does not work.
Jim has an interesting and valid point about the use of Newtscape, but this
only works with relatively small texts. On larger texts, the Newton runs
out of heap. The large texts are the ones I'm specifically interested in.
<sigh>

No mess, it works on Word 97 Win also. Choose Open Dialog, there is file
name and file type. Under file type choose
something like "recover text" (I am using a German Word 97, there it is
"Text wiederherstellen" ;-)
