I hope it's not a jynx!

I found it.  It's a document I created with Microsoft Word on a PPC. 
IIRC, those old Word files can be read from an HFS disk only. OSX called 
it Unix because it didn't recognize it.

There's valuable historical information in that document. I believe I 
have a USB disk with an HFS partition.  I hope I can open it!
