Call me ignorant but what is pathminder ?

[Fett101]

It's a company that makes optical turnstiles, according to Google...

[why_use_windoze]

NO! It is a company(today) But its an old program by some decked out company called Westlake Data Corporation.

I used to have it on my old PC (IBM DOS) before the C: ribbon got disconnected and I have no idea what happened.

I just got it from this guy who visited my site.

I would like to view some files created by TWIN Classic Spreadsheet software by Mosaic (A Lotus look-a-like).  This is a application that runs on PathFinder.  The files were created by a DOS version of the software. The files have a .wkt file name extension.
 
 I do not have any version of the Mosaic or Lotus software. Is there a WIN9x software that would view or convert these files?

Thank you!

Gary

Also, Did you ever find a copy of PathFinder?  I may have access to a copy if you need it?

this is quite an intriguing thread, simply because it's the type of thread usually not seen here.

glad you're all managing to get this old pathminder software anyway. what is it anyway? a small GUI for DOS? is it like a midnight commander or emacs sort of environment, or is ti more complex?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Please be aware that even though Pathfinder is a really old piece of software, it's still protected by copyright law. Therefore copying it without permission from the copyright holder is still illegal and is why I have removed the link from your post as it violates both the law and the rules for this forum

does it? how come they're allowed to host it for download then? is that site illegal?
