You're right, the files are now on a Windows machine, and I'm trying to open them from either a linux or Windows box. However, I think the MacWrite hypothesis is a good one, so I'm hoping to find a macintosh around campus I can try it out on. I'll keep y'all informed....
I'm in Wisconsin this week, but I have a Mac Plus (4M RAM, 20 MB hard drive) that can be networked so let me know if you can't find one and perhaps we can use it. The other option is to find someone with a Powerbook running the OS9 emulator and you can find copies of MacWrite, Word, etc. from that time period on the net that will work on it. The trick then is getting a floppy drive that will read the disks.
