Well, I have good news and bad. I just got a great new office computer, fast as the dickens. In getting my programs and files loaded onto it, I somehow screwed up massively, and deleted my entire parts directory. Then I formated the drive in preparation for a clean Windows install, sealing my fate. The files are gone.
Form a single line to kick me for not backing these up.
Meanwhile, on to recovery. I do have a lot of the files already made into SBP cut files on the Shopbot computer. I need these to be back into DXF files so I can modify them as I need to. They are all files made for DOS Bot ver 2.38.
Can I convert these from SBP files to DXF files? They are all 2D files, no 3d sign stuff that I care to recover.
I read some older threads that suggest it can be done, and that Shopbot was working on reverse engineering software.
I'm not trying to reverse anyone's file but my own- no copyright fiddlefaddle going on here. I just want to recover a great many hours of work at Corel Draw and Enroute.
Geesh. OK. Start kicking.
