I was able to find some information in the file, but with all the gibberish surrounding it it is hard to know what is what. And seeing that is it a government report, the last thing I want to do is have something misinterpreted. > What happens next is driven by what you want to do.

I got the reports at the end of day yesterday and the boss dropped it on my lap. I had no clue so I am trying to just get to the point where I can just read the reports. I googled for close to an hour and was only able to determine the type of file...who liley made it....what it is used for...and that it is packed with pecompact...which is suppose to have a uncompact utlity somehwere, but I cannot find a download location for it. I think the only thing Ic an do at this point is contact that person and ask them more information. I was hoping to find an open source tool that would work...but oh well...free will work for me. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
