Old TurboCad drawings

Is there any way to have Librecad open old TurboCad drawings with a .tcw extension.  The drawings are from about 1998-2000 time frame.

Thanks

TCW is TurboCAD's native format. As it is proprietary software, there is no reference for this file format and thus no chance to open files in LibreCAD without immense efforts.
I've seen, that there is a free lite version of TurboCAD to download. Maybe this version is still capable to open these TCW files.
But I can't say, if the lite version can export the drawings in DXF format.

Thanks.  I think I will try that TurboCad offer for a 15 day trial period.
