I don't know but I don't think they are macwrite as somebody suggested
earlier. I checked around and macwrite should have been using compression
and with this stuff we see a bunch of nonprintables at the beginning and
then normal lines of text with ^M right?

If somebody can identify the format we can find something that converts all
this or write one ourselves. There seem to be quite a few documents and code
in whatever format it is.

Why retype it? Can't you simply post a link to the pdf?

Thanks,
