Dear All,
We received a large photographic slide collection of mostly cacti (ca.
15,000), accompanied by the donor's 3 1/2 inch PC-formatted floppy disks of
what are reported to be the inventory/catalogues of these slides. Whether
the source was from a PC or a Mac isn't certain. Most of the files are
small, ca. 38 KB.
We have tried, some talented students have tried, but no luck finding a way
to use them.
The files have the following types of names (and date to 1992 and 1993):
cact-n-a.gen
cact-n-a.num
cact-n-a.qua
and others that appear to be related:
coryph.num
coryph.qua
coryph.spe
and other apparent groupings:
opuntia.bes
opuntia.num
opuntia.spe
agavemex.nam
agavemex.num
agavemex.qua
There are also some files that end with ".bdb", ".nam", ".bst", ".tot",
".ncf", ".wor"
Some configuration files are labeled "macros" or "works"
Suggestions for how to proceed would be most welcome.
Thank you,
Holly Forbes
