Question

open sfw file on a mac

I found photo CD's from my late father from a company called PhotoWorks. It's labeled for PC use but looking through the file directory it appears the photos are in .sfw format. I can't find any programs that will open them. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
