Forester - thank you :)
I've used a lot of .3ds models, but I've never seen anything like this before. And yes, the texture files ended up looking as if someone closed their eyes and given them a file name on a keyboard from Star Trek or something.

But what you just told me explains a lot.

And they have all gone into the bin.

Thanks again for all your help :)
