Which software can I use? 1

[Mafuta]

I have a problem in opening data from floppy disks which were recorded way back 1997. Can any body help....the files extensions are PRN, ASC, CLI, HED, LOG, RAW and PAS.

I guess there are 2 aspects
1 - finding a machine that can read floppies.
2 - finding the right software.
Regarding #2 - have you tried "notepad". I think it should work for ASC and maybe others.

Note, however, if these files are binary, they're unlikely to include niceties like scaling and units. You could start by using a binary file reader and look at the contents to see what's what. Usually, even in binary files, there are patterns in the data that would potentially allow you to decipher the format of the data.

Guys,
Done! All were done by Notepad except for the one with the extension "val".

Appreciate your contributions.
