Sounds like they might be Macpaint files - IrfanView (www.irfanview.com
iirc) should be able to read them. Failing that, most any version of
Paintshop Pro can read them too. I know PSP4 and above can, PSP3.x almost
certanly, I'm not sure about anything earlier than that though.
Irfanview is a nice little freeware image manipulation tool to keep around
anyway - it loads in less than a second; PSP, Photoshop, et al take around
ten seconds to load. And it's less than 1MB in size - what more could you
want? <g>

Later.
