How Can I Open An Old Fcabinet Mailbox And Read The Mail?

I ueed compuserve as my email client in the 80's and 90's, have a backup on a CD of an old fcabinet mailbox which is 15mb in size, indicating that it contains all the mail received and sent during this period, and it has become URGENT AND VITAL to be able to recover about 50 of these emails. My username/ID was [email protected], and what I find recorded as my password in penny*server. My address st the time was 47, rue Saint-André-des-Arts, 75006 Paris, France, although I later moved to Vienna, Austria, and that's where the CD with this data is. I am writing from Santo Domingo, but no matter, there is someone in Vienna who can do whatever necessary to recover this data, which appears in the path: PC_PARIS / WIENJULP1 / PROGRAMME / COMPUSERVE / FCABINET. Since the harddisk from which this data was backed up is badly damaged and unusable(although extant), we are clearly going to require a working program to open this folder. We can, of course, restore the data itself to another harddisk. I stopped using compuserve long before the required reformatting of email and email folders, so this fcabinet folder is old-style. Please get back to me as quickly as possible with the solution tp this problem. Many thanks, Elliot Klein [email protected]
