Hi Peter,

I can't offer much on the .abw files - they're AbiWord, which was an 
ancient word processor.  Perhaps try to open them up using various word 
processor software, even Notepad.

for .pmd, those are Pagemaker files.  You can run Pagemaker from Wedge, the 
southernmost computer on the client wall.  It's not software we keep on all 
computers as we only have one license for it and it's expensive.

But if you log in on Wedge you should be able to open .pmds.  If any 
trouble with this, I may be able to help further.  I can meet you down 
there to try to help later.

Good luck!
