> Microsoft wrote an AWD->TIFF converter that will let you convert these

> so you can view them in Windows XP. This converter is on the Windows XP

> Look under i386\win9xmig\fax\ for a file called "awdvstub.exe." Copy this
> file to your hard drive and run it from a command prompt with the '/c'
> option to convert an AWD file to a TIFF file. You can also associate AWD
> files with it. After you do, double clicking an AWD file will convert the
> file and open it in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. For the utility to
> run correctly you must also have a copy of "fxstiff.dll" on your hard

> usually in the Windows\system32 folder and/or the
> Windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3 folder. Normally that DLL will be

> place already if you've installed the Windows XP Fax Program.

> Also, some third party utilities such as PolyView support opening and
> converting AWD files (http://www.polyview.com )
