I'm not a regular reader of either c.s.m.a or c.t, so please
forgive any netiquette violations. My brother has mailed
me a file he did on his Mac and it's unreadable. The only
parts I can make out are "Letter to Kate" and "Text Only".
It does say "MACWORDAMACWORDA" in places, and I *know* he
has a Mac, so I guess he's using Word. 

Is there some simple way I can translate this? This is a Unix
site, and I could always download it to my PC. I have Ventura
there, which reads and writes a LOT of formats; perhaps someone
can recommend what I tell Ventura it is to get it translated?

I have no idea what the traffic on these groups is but I'll subscribe
for a week or so, to make things easier for those who'd rather post
than mail.
