    I have a set of floppies with data files that have the extensions of .pro, .s2 and .sot. These are about 20 years old. A search for the extensions shows programs newer than 5 years old and are not correct. Does anyone know what programs may have written these around 1980/1990 ?

    .pro = ProPresenter Export File specifically video files

    Presentation created with ProPresenter, a lyric presentation program; contains video and lyrics that can be pre-sequenced to worship songs and other music; often used by churches and ministries to create visual lyric displays during worship.
    Works with a Mac OS processer

    Mac OS opens this program

    As for the other 2 extensions still searching...

    Novell Perfect Office (before it was sold to Corel) is about the earliest "wordprocessing" suite I can recall. I checked to see what file extensions it used but I don't think any of the above are it.

    As far as the s2, I found something that mentioned Motorola.

    Thanks. I have ried the Perfect Office program and cannot get it to process my files. The Motorola program is for sound files of which these don,t have. Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the suggestion. The files I am trying to process are actually a memoir written in 1980 and has charts and diagrams embedded in them. I don't know if the Presentation program will work, but will definately give it a try.

    Thanks for the reply. I have tried the pprograms you mentioned and they won't read/format my files. I may be hitting my head against a brick wall. I think these files may be too old for any existing programs.
