[V8] Complications: Bentley Type 44 manual discs

[Roger Woodbury]

They won't run apparently.  My wrench bought a complete set including the V8
files.  Now they won't run on computers using IE 7 and require at most Adobe
Acrobat 4.

So, we are seeking a solution, since Bentley is NOT upgrading their files to
run on the new OS.

Does anyone have an old laptop that runs IE4 and has Adobe Acrobat 4 already
installed that they would like to get out of the garage?

Any other comments or solutions?  

Incidentally, it seems to me that this is an issue with potential societal
ramifications.  If important documents or data is stored on discs that are
no longer readable because of basic changes in soft ware and operating
systems, what could actually be lost?  Quite a lot it seems, and presumably
opens the door for an entirely new type of archivist profession.
