That would be of the ancient flavor of PPT. According to the FAQ, that
version ran on Win 3.x, Win95, and the Mac. I am wondering if anything
recent will open it. Hmmm - one of the FAQ entries for the Mac says that the
current Mac version might open it. I know that you can save a V4
presentation from some versions of PPT, but I don't know if they open them.
