Now all I need is a tool to tell me what a bunch of these files are supposed to be! They're on a client's Mac, copied from an old PC, and it appears most of 'em have no file extension. Most of those show up as "Unix Executable File", even though the first two folders I converted were all .eml (email message) files. Those were easy, since they had names like "FWD: family news"...

There's a mix of Word docs and .rtf files in their Documents folder, plus a bunch of random files that the computer thinks are .exe files. Those are proving to be more difficult to suss out!

Oh well, thanks again everyone!!
