Anyone know how to read .ss files
18 February 2010 at 8:11am
My dad died and he has some information on 3.5" floppy discs that are .ss files. These were created on a Sharp Font Writer - Personal Word Processor.
On my PC I have tried everything but cannot get them to open in an intelligible format, nothing works, not excel, not notepad or word etc.
Anyone got any ideas how I can open these files legibly to save them onto my PC? -

I'm sorry to hear about your dad.
I'm afraid this forum isn't the right place to ask, as these .ss files have nothing to do with Silverstripe; it's a coincidence that they have the same extension.
You'll have more luck looking for a file-recovery forum or something specific to the word processor in question.Try googling for "Recover files from word processor" or something like this.
I see some tools for Sharp Font Writer files here: http://semiprime.com/fontwriter
Otherwise, you can see what can be extracted using a Hex Editor (try http://sourceforge.net/projects/hexplorer). This will probably allow you to copy any plain text out, but won't preserve any formatting, or anything like that.Best of luck.
