<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Peter<br>
<br>
I would like to be able to take a look at the files and see what
it is possible to do.<br>
This is not a work commitment, but we could have an idea of
whether it is worth giving the work to someone with experience<br>
Send a copy of the .zip to my email account, please<br>
We would also like to know which institution you work in and in
which country<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Ernesto Spinak<br>

been asked to dig data out of an old version of an ISIS
database. The .ZIP file has over 400 files in more than a
dozen folders and subfolders, ranging in age from 2008 back to
the 1980s. I have never used ISIS, and the last person in this
institution known to have done so has died. I unzipped
everything and managed to get the ISIS.exe file to run, but it
either does (apparently) nothing, or tosses an error message
about being unable to find a file in ISISUC.TAB</div>

no idea what the application is supposed to do, how it is
supposed to respond, what it expects, or really anything. Can
anyone point me to some information, or a knowledgeable
person? The data is supposedly a fair amount of documentary
library work by the last person to use it. Why it has sat for
so long before anyone showed an interest is an obvious
question, but not one that is likely to recieve a satisfactory
answer. This is a museum, and not all the fossils are in
exhibition cases.</div>

no proprietary information.</div>
