Got some important notes i need to look through from my lecturer. They're a .OC file. Does anyone know of a programme i can use to open it? He's Mac, i'm PC.

In which case it's a MS Word file.
I would ask your lecturer to resave as a more generally-accepted file, such as .rtf, which is pretty universal. Alternately you could try renaming the extension to .rtf or .txt and seeing if it does anything.
EDIT: Matt's solution uses much more common sense than mine. Rename it to .doc and see if it works.

Only if we presume that a Mac user is using MS Word. Though it wouldn't hurt to try.
It also wouldn't hurt to ask the person who gave the file what it is and what it's compatible with. Or for a different copy that is compatible with the OPs available programs.

You might be surprised how popular Office for Mac is.

If I perform a head (displays the first x lines) on other documents, for example a PDF, I get things like %PDF-1.2 on the very first line. If you think the file extension may have been changed for some reason, this could be a way of discerning what it should be, and perhaps even which program created it.
