Pagemaker conversion wanted
Hi All I got a couple of files from my old graphic designer days that I'm pretty sure are just simple text in Pagemaker files. 3 files, each not 8K. Can someone do me a favor and convert them to PDF or TextEdit RTF for me? Cheers, Glen Low --- pixelglow software | simply brilliant stuff www.pixelglow.com aim: pixglen

Did you get a reply? I was going to dig out some of my old PageMaker files to see what the format was like, because if the text is simple enough you might be able to extract it (without formatting) using the `strings` utility on the command line. Otherwise, there are probably few people on this list (myself included) who may still have access to PageMaker 5.0, 6.0 and 6.5 if those would be old enough to read your old files.

Mike Hi Yvonne/Wyvern helped me out with those already, thanks for all your help. Turned out they were *blush* MacWrite files instead -- wondering why my AppleWorks didn't want to open them. Not using anything instead of Pagemaker -- was doing graphic design back in Singapore before I came here 8+ years ago and did something 180 degrees different (or more like 120 degrees different) -- I'm a computer programmer nowadays. I still keep Photoshop, Illustrator and some of my tools but not as up to date as the good old days, and it's always refreshing to work spatially again after so much logical thought -- I enjoyed doing the Graphviz logo for example. http://www.pixelglow.com/graphviz/ Cheers, Glen Low --- pixelglow software | simply brilliant stuff www.pixelglow.com aim: pixglen
