I came across it and unfortunately it's been formatted and reformatted
from system to system, word processor to word processor, and the last

This one bit I did by hand.

I'll try to load my very old version of WordPerfect. It has very

the complete deal.

If not, I'll fix it manually bit by bit since I want it for myself.

That's a problem with digital archiving. The probability that in the
future, the technology that generated it will not be around to decode
it.
