Unix executables, still

Thu May 15 11:31:19 PDT 2008

	Again, thanks, Dave and Jim and Michael for your prompt attention to  
my problem.
	First, let me comment on a suspicion that was mentioned early on.   
There were no PC's involved.  These were documents created by the  
version of Panorama that was current at the time, on a genuine Apple  
Macintosh.
	The three documents that I have been working with were originals, I  
believe, so they may be permanently lost as Jim suggests.  They were  
from 1997.  However, I have several more of these for 1998 and 1999  
that I would like to recover.
	I don't understand "USB thumb drive."
	Is there any way of finding out what the extensions should be for  
these OS 9 documents?
