Have you every used PowerPacker?  The default extension for powerpacked files 
is .pp.  You will need PPMore or MuchMorePP to read the file.  PowerPacker and 
all the readers are available on AB20.larc.nasa.gov if you have FTP capabili- 
ties.

The document is readable in compressed format with these two programs.
