.pif and .pwd files

Since you don't say why or how you
intendt to use these files or why they must
be "opend" on Mac and since a pif file
could be either:

a Program Information File (Shortcut to
DOS program used in Windows) - which
has no counterpart or use in the Mac OS.

OR

b. Graphics metafile (OS/2)

c.Vector image GDF format (IBM
mainframe computers)

I assume you have some graphic images
you need to insert into a Mac graphic app.
I suggest you open them in something on
the Winside and then save them as
somthing a Mac can more easily read.
(GIF, PIC, JPG)

Same with the pwd (Microsoft Pocket
Word text document). Saving as either
ascii text or rtf text would allow any Mac
word processor to open them.

Hi,
.pif and .pwd extetions are related to the pure Windows environment. so you can not to open them in any Mac environment.
but You have still two ways to access them.
One is to create the Dos ( Windows ) Environment in the Mac by using emulation software such Virtual PC. As I know, It can be emulated Pentiun II PC with 300MHz.
Second way is to convert the formats of these files which can be accessible by some of the Mac softwares. (i.e if they are containing some graphics, convert the .pwd files to the jpeg files before going to the Mac environment.
good luck.
