Extract programming file from Altera EPLD

I am looking to extract the *.pof file from a MAX7000 series EPLD (EPM7256SRC208-7). I am working on an old project and over the course of time we appear to have misplaced the archived program...

I have the same question as scott.holmes except my chip is a EPM7032. I see the post by mbenca states that "readback is a common task" but FvM states that read back may not be supported by the JTAG programmer for the Max7000S. Before I blindly purchase a MasterBlaster programmer with the hope that it will work. I would like to know if anyone (Scott.Holmes) has tried to read back a programmed Max7000 series CPLD at all and if anyone has read back a program with the masterbaster stand-alone programmer.
