[TriLUG] Old Mac files: any ideas how to open them?

[Andrew Perrin]

Greetings, folks.

My wife has a folder of old (circa 1991) files created on her Macintosh 
Plus during medical school. Neither of us can remember what word processor 
she used to write these.

They now reside in a folder on her computer, and we would like to be able 
to open them. However, just opening them in emacs, Word, etc., produces 
gibberish. I get the following output from file:

aperrin at joehill:/mnt/elianasdocs/OLDMAC$ file 3RDLAB~1
3RDLAB~1: TTComp archive data




Does this ring a bell to anyone? Any ideas where to go with it?

Thanks.
