StarOffice knows about it, and probably other probgrams, but you'll need to poke around in office software, not graphics software, to find a reader. Incidentally, you might have done this already, but the first thing to try when you get mysterious files like this is the "file" command. It's good at identifying these. In that case, it's not as helpful as one might like but it would at least have told you that it wan't an image. | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Brian T.
