Default OS 9.1 audio files won't open

Hope this is not too off topic...

I backed some audio files up on my old ancient OS 9.1 mac (using retrospect).
Now I've retrieved them and transferred them to my Lion mac.
But I can play or open them....

Now it's said to be a "Unix Executable file".

How do I get them into PT?

I had a little look at some resource fork editing apps, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Anyone knows what's up?

thanks.

Boe

They're probably sd2 files without any resource forks.. treat them as RAW data files and resave them as WAV files using SoundHack... I have a free Win app to fix them if you have access to a Windows system...

Ah, thanks. I'll try that.
