I offered to help update an authenticity manual for the Lincoln club I belong to. They sent me a CD with the files for the manual, but OSX just wants to open them in Preview as PDFs.
The extensions are .PS for most of the files. A couple are .iv.vii files (which may be the way they named them). When I open them, some are multiple pages, some are not. For some files, the extension is simply the page number (with no .PS).
The person who created these files is not the one I have contact with. The guy I've talked to who archived these files says he "can't remember" what program created them.
Could it be Adobe Illustrator? Page Maker? I haven't a clue.
A few files are text files. Here's a snippet of the file:

Clearly it's Adobe something. As you can see by the date, this was done a while ago.
I have a feeling these might just be the output files and not the source files.
Can someone help me?
