Bob,

Have you tried to use Explorer to copy the file from the floppy to your hard
disk? There are also disk utilities that you can try to use to recover the
file, which may be worthwhile depending on the amount of work you've put
into the file.

HTH,

Unfortunately, very probably. Do you have any backups?
