File conversion question (Way OT)

Homer · #1 03-31-2005, 04:40 PM

I know there are a lot of computer savvy people here, so maybe someone can help me out.

I have a series of files with the extension .pr2 that I need to convert into a readable format (.txt, .rtf, .doc, whatever). From some research, I've determined that the files are most likely from some Mac program called Aldus Persuasion, from the mid-90's. I've tried a number of text converters and can't get anything to work.

Does anyone know of a program I could use, preferably free, to convert these docs?

-- Thanks, Homer

Aldus was acquired by Adobe, so perhaps you could find someone with Acrobat to convert them for you. I may be able to, if you want to email me a copy of one of the files.

Have you tried/used "DBMS Copy"?

I have this prgm for the Mac. How Large are your files? Perhaps you can email me one of them and I'll see what I can do.
