Greetings, folks.
My wife has a folder of old (circa 1991) files created on her
Macintosh Plus during medical school. Neither of us can remember what
word processor she used to write these.
They now reside in a folder on her computer, and we would like to be
able to open them. However, just opening them in emacs, Word, etc.,
produces gibberish. I get the following output from file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/elianasdocs/OLDMAC$ file 3RDLAB~1
3RDLAB~1: TTComp archive data
Does this ring a bell to anyone? Any ideas where to go with it?
Thanks.

Sounds like a zip file? Try renaming it to have a .zip extension and
running unzip -t <filename>. Googling around for TTComp archive data
seems to indicate that TTComp is a PKZIP-compatible archive program for
the Mac of days gone by, seemingly made by a company called SWFTE? I'm
mostly guessing from Google context, so I could also be totally off-base.
Let us know what you find out!
