Unless I did something really wrong, I don't think this is/was an AI file and I do not own a MAC

I extracted your .ai file and opened with Notepad++ which almost is like a raw file dump but often is useful to look under the covers.  I've attached 5 snaps from 'stuff' that caught my eye and nothing anywhere seemed to have any reference to Adobe or Illustrator.

I've also attached a pic of a real .ai file, at least on Windows on this post and the next (limit of 4 per post)

Hope this helps some.  Good luck.

Sbrem:
I did have a fix from years ago, where I could open a file with a text editor, and if I remember correctly, I had some code that I could copy and paste into the header up to "bounding box". I do not know how to read or write code at all, but can copy and paste with the best of them. So, when I couldn't find "bounding box" I thought I'd try here to see what others might know. Thanks for digging in.
