It is also possible that MS Office 2007 can no longer open PowerPoint 4.0
files. These files are from 1996-1997. Did you try with an older version of MS
Office? (I do not have any version of MS Office here to test.)

The "file" command shows the following for the sdsi20-maryland.ppt file:

sdsi20-maryland.ppt: Composite Document File V2 Document, Little Endian, Os:
Windows, Version 4.0, Code page: 1252, Title: On Public-Key Infrastructures,
Author: Ronald L. Rivest, Template: c:\powerpnt\template\clrovrhd\sidebarc.ppt,
Last Saved By: Ronald L. Rivest, Revision Number: 123, Name of Creating
Application: Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0, Total Editing Time:
-5340335d+-18:-21:-51, Last Printed: Thu Apr 10 01:32:24 1997, Create
Time/Date: Tue Aug 13 18:55:52 1996, Last Saved Time/Date: Thu Apr 10 12:28:14
1997, Number of Pages: 36, Number of Words: 2321

Even if LibreOffice cannot open these old files, it should at least have a
better error message explaining the problem.
