- OK, a simple problem. I download a program (in this case, System 7 Pack) from
- AOL, and along with the application, I get three informational files. Two have
- text icons; I double click on them, bring up Teachtext, and read them. One file,
- (the most important one) has a plain (blank) document icon. I try MacWrite,
- Teachtext, McSink, and nothing will open it. I'm getting the standard, "XXX
- cannot be opened because the program that created it cannot be found".
-
- I'm sure I'm missing something here. I'm up for public (or email) advice.
-
- Thanks group.
