old dvi file

[Jorge Almeida]

I have a few very old dvi files that I need to convert to pdf. The
problem is that the files were produced in a Mac Classic, and it seems
the format is not recognized in linux:

$ file f.dvi
f.dvi: AppleSingle encoded Macintosh file

$ dvips f.dvi
This is dvips(k) 5.993 Copyright 2013 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
dvips: ! Bad DVI file: first byte not preamble

$ unsingle f.dvi
f.dvi has no name for the mac file.

(using unsingle is the only suggestion I got out of googling...)

Needless to say, viewers like okular choke on it.

I would love being able to forget I ever used a mac...

Anyone been there?
