Re: [libreoffice-users] RE: Question - convert Multimate files - Reply 2

I actually remember Multimate and a few other ancient programs.
I did not see the extension or Multimate listed as format with a filter  
when I checked.
Also, I did not see any extension that would allow the conversion.

I did find a few programs that convert some Multimate files to a modern  
format
They are pricey, about $100 for a single user. Some will also convert on a  
per file
basis to another format.

Once you get the file into modern format then LibreOffice can open most of  
them.
Hope this helps you, sorry about the difficulty of converting an ancient  
format

Regards,

Jay
