Please, anyone have clue?
Ramble...

Many years ago, before I retired, I transferred much of my old business
(Early years) data stored on 3.5 inch stiffies (Floppy disks in a hard
case) to CDs and Hardrives.

Unfortunately, I've been going through this ancient stuff looking for some
specific things, long forgotten.

Obviously in the file sense, all the files are openable, and many fully
openable in there assigned apps that still kind of work (Virtual
InterSheet for example) when given the appropriate RISC OS filetype.

InterWord as another example, though Impression Publisher with an
appropriate filter will Load InterWord files.

However, I found a few very early files, 1984 to 1986 that I can see in
StrongED but have no apps to open them and was wondering if any folks here
might have any clues from the header data what it might have been.

(Would have been created on a BBC-B).

No1:
[Load of stuff] ’


No2:
Second set of files from IIRC. a database app of some sort, and all files
have the following in the header, depending on the save out.

[Load of stuff] 70F2RN35 [Etc]
[Load of stuff] 70F2CY35 [Etc]

No biggy... but I did wonder.  :-)

Thanks
Dave
