Need to open old Easy CD Creator .cl3 files

[Markbot]

OK Im embarrased to admit it, but back in 1998 when I bought my first burner (Philips 2X CDD3610) it came with Easy CD Creator 3 and I installed and used it until I tried to backup my first copy protected game. During the spance of that learning experience I made many jewel case artwork files which I have archived. They have the file extension .cl3. Now when Easy CD Creator 4 came out, they did not support opening the .cl3 files from version 3. That was the last straw.

What I would like to do is open these files and export the artwork as bitmap or jpeg files. Worse case I could install Easy CD Creator 3 open the files and do a screen capture or recreate the jewcase art work in SureThing and export.

I'm hoping some much wiser than I has a better solution.

TIA for any suggestions.

It's been a bone of contention way back when it was still Adaptec, and they ran their own mailing list.

Attempting to use 3 and 4 together is also supposed to cause problems!
