As Paul says, it has has problems because it wants Full-Screen mode and

Both these problems can be solved by running under DOSBOX.

I have written notes on using DOSBOX for these 16-bit programs at:

Thanks, Tim (and everyone who responded). The conv-ewa.exe file was what

That souunds like hard work as you have to transfer your files in, convert
them and then transfer out again and all without using CD or USB!

Will your 64-bit PC boot from a USB stick (I have one that will and one
that won't)?

If it will, then go to https://rufus.ie/ and use Rufus to create a bootable
USB drive, nothing to install. Now copy CONV-EWA.EXE and your EW file to
the USB.

You can now Boot from it and convert your files. Reboot you 64-bit PC and
copy the files from the USB stick.

If you cannot boot from USB, then download and install the DOSBOX App (it's
free!) and follow the procedure in:
http://www.ukiws.demon.co.uk/GFAC/do...ithout_DLL.pdf

It all works, and I have tried it out.

Tim.
