If Pages doesn't work you're up the creek.  To extract as much of the text as 
you can interpret, you can drag & drop it on TextEdit while holding down the 
command and option keys, which will force it to try to open that file type, 
then strip out the binary cruft. But better would be an older system that runs 
TextEdit, then save as RTF.
