Try using binwalk, file(1) or strings(1) to get some information about the contents of the files ... try searching found strings on Google, etc. Good luck!
--- Edit:
Those four files are really small and I can't see any person's names in them when just opening them as plaintext files, but LINEN contains some instructions for solving math systems of equations: "sistem dveh linearnih enačb z dvema neznankama. Možne rešitve". Other files seem like a listing for a music album (MARLEY: 01. No woman no cry) and possibly lyrics or something in BEATLES (eight days a week she loves you, ... Maybe something for a karaoke program). KASETA is also really short and contains no text - maybe some chiptone music, but that's just a silly guess.
To correct myself: binwalk, file and strings do not help you here. It's not even ASCII text.
- rzzzt 5y agoBEATLES has "Stran A:", "Stran B:", and "a hard days night" in the first few bytes, the ASCII characters are interspersed with NUL (0x00) ACK (0x06) and SOH (0x01) bytes. Edit: it might be for a cassette inlay printing/catalogue software like the following (not _exactly_ this, though): https://www.jonessoft.co.uk/inlayprint.html https://www.jonessoft.co.uk/inlayprint.html Edit2: maybe they are screen memory dumps from 0xB8000 with color bytes after character codes?
- twooclock 5y agoThank you. I know the contents but I'd like to open them and see the outline. They should both be somekind of images. You guessed right kaseta was probaby for a type recorder cassete inlay. Was doing some recording back then. Unfortunately can't find original software.
- TacticalCoder 5y agoThe "identify" command is also worth a try should some a files be graphical. Not too sure if very old graphical format are supported by "identify" but it's worth a try.
