I've been on a "extracting things from other things" kick lately, like pulling midi files out of proprietary archive files.
How much harder can this be? If they're not too big/too many files, sent them my way, I'll take a shot in my spare time.

I have some really old, as in ancient ventura publishing files that I'd be interesting at cracking open and at least extracting out the important stuff in order to convert to some more modern tool.
I'm seeing extensions like ".WP" and ".WS" which is probably text in word perfect and word star formats.
I'm also seeing extentions like .CAP .CHP .CIF .VGR .CHP .STY .GEM and .PLT
Does this ring a bell for anyone? It's probably 10 year old stuff at least? netbpm supposedly has a GEM converter, but these gem files are older than what the gemtopnm util supports. Ughhh!
I should probably just rm * the whole lot, have a minute of silence, and get on with my life, but I thought I'd ask first ....
Thanks,
Curt.
