Dear Pavol, Reading text files without any software is a neat trick, if you can do it.
(no file on a computer is “human readable” - but many are encoded in a form which allows a wide range of general tools to display it, not just specialist crystallography software) ;-) I have to say, I am more impressed that Eleanor has files from ’92 - quite possibly older than many who will read this message!

Any older binaries (ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4/4.0.1/) will require an SGI or Dec/Alpha machine ;-) If that doesn't help I would first check that it is actually a correct MTZ file: does the ASCII header (trailer) show up with strings your.mtz towards the end?
