I picked up a copy of Parallels with the intention of using my VPC XP
install with it (my VPC software has been retired for years). I've
torn through 100 boxes and I can't find my disks or licenses -- but I
did find a DVD with a backup of my .vpc6 drive image from when I was
using VPC.

Question 1: is it possible to open and/or convert this image without
VPC installed?

Question 2: if I manage to do that, can I clone it to a Parallels image
and get up and running that way?

parallels transporter will convert the vpc image to a parallels image.
