Check out the FILE>>IMPORT menu. It lists scripts that will convert other software formats to something Blender can read. *.max files aren’t on the list, but, something that your friend’s software can export may be.

running Max he needs to save them as .obj files; then you can use the file->import

I just thought to clarify that .max file format is proprietary and cannot be opened in any other application than 3ds Max. Also it can’t be converted to any other file format without 3ds Max installed. There are commercial 3D file format converter programs like PolyTrans andDeep Exploration Standard Edition but all these require 3ds Max to be installed.
