CPS files

[Frin]

i have been sent a picture, supposedly, which has the file extension CPS. I
cannot find any software to open it, but believe it might be an old corel
file. The file was last used in 1999!

Thanks

Not Corel, this site has all the file extensions.

Filext does say it is a colored post script file. I don't know about PhotoHouse or
PrintHouse.
There are files here that might help... I looked through a few of the folders, the
ones I did look at did not have extension information, maybe you will be luckier.
ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/

Can you send the file to me? I have nearly every version of Corel from version 3 on
up. Maybe one of the older versions will open it. Are you sure it isn't a cpx file?
Remove "my" to reply.

I confess that come come in under an alias. I am Frank Russell and have used
MS Publisher since 1997 and this forum for many years and have even been able
to answer the odd question as well! I publish magazines using MSP but I had
to stop using it when I needed to output with CMYK to make PDFs for my
printer, but 2003 version lets me do this and so I am delighted to be using
it again. a great program for simple souls like me. I am using my wife's
hotmail address to log in to save time as I do not have one, but am not quite
sure how I can send this file to you. I have Corel and I cannot open it
either. I am happy to give an e-mail address here if that is wise?

Thanks for help. glad to see that you are still helping Publisher people!

You can fake the address so I will understand it, sort of like this:
gsauer at columbus dot rr dot com
I have many old programs, it occurs to me the old HiJaack 95 could open anything, but
it certainly did a number on the computer. I have 4 working computers, one has 95 and
another 98. Maybe AmiPro?

 

[Frin]

I have sent file hopefully to right address! I have tried Lotus wordpro, but
no luck and it has been suggested that it might be an old Word Perfect file.

Thanks for help - Frank

..cps Backup of startup files by Central Point PC Tools autoexec.cps
or
..cps coloured postscript files

Could it just be a PS-file.

Gosh! I miss PC Tools. Excellent program. Too bad it didn't like Win 98. It
barely tolerated Win 95.
