very old Illustrator file

(1/4) > >>

Sbrem:
Hi everyone, I have a very old Illustrator file I need to open, I've tried Inkscape as was suggested, but it won't touch it, perhaps the version I downloaded is too new, as I wanted to be sure it would run on my Mac. I had an older machine running our old plotter which had a copy or Illustrator 8 on it that would still open these
old files, but that old machine, a Mac clone from Power Computing in the mid 90's, like Elvis, has left the building. I'll attach it here if anyone thinks they might be able to open it, then save it as a pdf or eps, thanks in advance.

I tried with a few programs, nothing. Invalid file format.....try yelling at it? Seems to help...

royster13:
I tried.....No luck for me either....

Sbrem:
We have the image on an old plastic based vellum we had with a printer whose brand I can't remember, so I guess we'll just scan it in and go from there. Thanks for trying folks. We all like a good challenge yes?

Just this last Friday I just had to scan some old camera films I somehow still had for re-sized project with the same pre-computer image.
