How do I load a file into VB6.0 which was written in VB2.0

I have to upgrade an application which was developed in VB2.0 for Win3.1 in 1995 to VB6.0 for Win98. When I try to load one of the various form files(which is a MDI form and is a parent for a model spreadsheet child form. The spreadsheet was developed using FarPoint technologies' Spread/VBX 2.0. I do not have a copy of this VBX control on my computer right now), I get a message that "it is in binary format and cannot be loaded into VB6.0.

When I look at its help, it says - "Binary format files created with versions of Visual Basic prior to version 5.0 cannot be loaded without being converted. Only Visual Basic versions 2.0 and 3.0 support binary format file conversion. If you have access to a copy of Visual Basic 2.0 or 3.0, you can load the file and save it as text, then load the file into the newer version of Visual Basic".

But I do not have a copy of VB2.0 or 3.0 with me. What do I do?

I would really appreciate any help to solve this problem.

Sincerely,

Thank you Dr. Michael for your response, but it would be nice if you can suggest a site from where I can download VB2.0 or VB3.0
