I recently obtained a G5 (powermac 7.2 running 10.5.8) after being exiled on a pc for two years. I opened a CD containing files I saved from my previous Mac (a G4 running 10.3.9) on the G5. Most of the files opened with no problem. However, nearly all of the articles I wrote (using Appleworks, saved as RTF documents) showed up on the G5 as a "Unix executable file." I don't even know what that is, except for the reference to Unix.
I know very little about Unix. Is there anything I can do to salvage these documents?
As a secondary question, will the hard drive from the G4 work if I install it in the G5?
Thank you for your help.
