Hi everyone,
I've got some floppies (yes, floppies! given me by a co-worker) that have some docs on them that are not in a format natively recognized in Leopard. They show up as Unix executable files. I've tried opening them in Word, and they will open (using the "recover text from any file" option), but without any of the native formatting, and with a lot of artifacts and formatting problems.
How to open these and retain all the original formatting? I've been trying to figure out which app they were created in, and the only thing I can find in the files that might give a hint -- they mention MacWorks. Was that an old word processing app?
