There are a handfull of apps available (also as trial downloads) that can view/print/convert .awd files, among them ThumbsPlus and AutoImage. Just use one of them for a one-time conversion of all your .awd files into tiff/gif/png and that's it.

sorry for wrong reply..

yes it won't work in normal .. mode.. there the XP option (look at
http://www.slipstick.com/fax/ntawdview.htm

Microsoft provides a conversion utility on the Windows XP CD. Look under i386\win9xmig\fax\awdvstub.exe. Run it with no command line arguments to get its options. Use the /c command-line switch to convert an AWD file to a TIFF file.

If you want to run Awdvstub.exe from your local machine, rather than from the CD, you'll also need to copy Faxtiff.dll.
