I friend of mine had some damaged files. He took them to the local computer store, who repaired the files with a program called 'CanOpener' or something close to that name. The gentleman at the store would not give a copy to my friend, and we have never heard of anything in the stores called this. So... Does anybody know about CanOpener, and wether it's Commercial or PD? -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Matt Curfman Help Desk Support curfmanm@darkstar.cas.orst.edu Oregon State University OSU says what it say, I say what I say.

Does anybody know about CanOpener, and wether it's Commercial or PD? CanOpener is a commercial product. Darned good one too. It will allow you to open and preview data in may forms. Primary purpose is to allow you to open files for which you do not have the original application nor any other application that will open them. It also allows you to pull text out of corrupted files sometimes. Formatting is lost, but it'll save you some retyping. -- Piper Keairnes * piper@s5000.rsvl.unisys.com * Purdue Univ.
