This may not be the correct group to post this to and if not I am
sorry but I thought I would take a chance and see if someone might be
able to help me out.

I have several files with the extension of .PDS which were made in
2001 using Windows 98 using a program such as PrintShop, PrintMaster,
or such but I can not remember which and I would hate to have to
reinstall all my old programs on XP to find out which program they
were from.

They are a certificate or poster type document that I made up which
are only one page in size. I have the hard copies of them that I
printed out back then but would like to be able to open them because
the info has changed on some of them. I made poster / certificate
type thing for my family with names and birth / death dates.

Thanks for any help that someone might have.

By your description, I would think that they are Print Shop ".PDS" files
a Google search on Print Shop + .PDS gets quite a few hits.

Your post may've been OT, but compared to the *really* OT posts in here,
it was a welcome relief ;-)

according to this site,
http://www.file-extensions.org/pds-file-extension-adobe-photoshop-file
it is a printshop graphic. There
are hints on the net that other programs may also open that format.
