I have some diskettes which were written on an Advent system
at Brown.  This is a now-unsupported WYSIWIG mathematical
typesetting system that ran on CPM systems; it used its own
disk format, of course,  and I can't read the diskettes.  I
need to retrieve the binary files; I can convert them to TeX
from that.  Anyone else still running this system?
