Am I missing something here? Am I correct in understanding that the disk
cannot even be read? Based on this, I'd:
1. Try to open the disk on the creator's Mac, if that person works in the
same office. If this works, launch the file and see what App opens. If the
gods are with you, you might then be able to save to a format of your
choosing!
2. Install Mac conversion software onto the Wintel that permits the reading
of Mac floppies. Try importing into software such as CorelDRAW!, which
supports a bizzillion mediocre filters, or some other such software. If
necessary, and if the text editor doesn't yield any header info, you must
guess what software was used (I'd start with the Adobe product line <vbg>).
3. Find another project until vacation-boy gets back <g>.
