bkf files

Hi y'all,
I have some information in my backups that I made in XP that I would like to get at now that I'm in Vista. Is there any way I can decompress/extract bkf files without having to buy software or reinstalling XP? I've double-clicked on the files and Vista doesn't know what to do with them.
Thanks.
Robert

This has been a problem with most new versions of Windows of Windows (i.e.won't read previous version's backups). This is ludicrous and should have been changed long ago. Please report it as a bug.
