Filter it through an earlier version of CLW; 5 might be low enough, but 4
will do it. I think.

-208 is a bad file format, and AW6 only understands itself back to its
relative youth of V2.

Failing that, save the SS on the old box as something odd like plain ASCII
text; double-click it on the new box and it'll turn up as a spreadsheet.
