Old files
« on: January 25, 2006, 08:49:14 AM »
Hello there,
For a book I had to restore files from the early 90's on an old syquest datadisc 44Mb.
I cannot read the files I found in any application I know.
They also have an odd file icon:
It's a page symbol with a background lightgray.
In the upper left corner is a big character "P" in black.
In the lower left corner, there's a blue box with 2 characters "DD"
And on the rightside in the middle stands a black box with white figures "4.0".
Can anyone tell me what application has been used for these files?
thx
M@C

Did you try to open it with Simple Text?
I think Simple Text is like the PC version of Notepad. It should let you see the text in the file.
