[VoIP] Way ot - Converting Vax VMS files to text

Hi,

     This is way off-topic, sorry. But, I just won a Digital DECtalk DTC-01
on eBay. A while back, I found a zip archive with some documentation, which
other than this file, seems to be almost nonexistent in electronic form. I
did find a PDF of, I think, the installation manual, but it's just a
collection of scanned images, no text. Anyway, these files seem to be
written for use with Vax VMS. I have no idea how to convert them to
something more usable. I have some files with .ln3 extensions which look
like pure garbage when I read them, and some .lpr files which, I think, look
more human-readable. There are other text files that are pretty much
straight text, with some garbage characters thrown in every now and then.
Does anyone here know how to convert these into modern text files? Thanks
for any help.
Jayson
