What application(s) will open, or run, 008 file types? Where or how may I obtain the application(s)?

I would first of all try opening it with notepad - it's probably just plain text. When a program generates a log of its behaviour it often does so by generating a plain text file with a numerical extension (each succeeding the last).\n\nAccording to the excellent FILExt database, a 008 file might be a marine navigation data file, used by the US Coastguard's Electronic Navigation Chart program (which appears to be freeware).

It's pretty easy to open a non-executable file programmatically using the "open" library routine (see VB help for syntax.)  You can't run something that is non-executable: writing an interpreter sort of makes it executable, and so invalidates the premise. ;)

Have a look at this forum posting: http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=123979 \nQuote: Word will open it, just change the file type like I mentioned above. Unquote.

That's a readme file. Open it with WinRAR / WinZIP internal viewer or Notepad.\n\nAlso, be careful of warez. You'll likely encounter a virus / Trojan / backdoor you weren't expecting and that isn't easily detected.

Most programs have an import and export feature that you can select in the Archive menu. If you want to open any file from another program choose import, then browser opens and lets you browse find the file and import\n\nOr go to other program and ask export and when it asks where, type where you want it to go...*.exe \n\nOr\n\nOpen choose from program tool bar the insert/add menu then select insert archive, browser opens, find your file and select it the OK the operation and it will open within the other program. Once in other program you can click it and change the size and other parameters.\n\nIt might be read only, choose properties open >general deselect read only and choose archive >apply>OK\n\nOpen the machines explorer and use open with and choose right program\n\nMaybe you need to install some text converter or graphic conversion filters or plug ins, they can be downloaded from many free sites in the Internet, and install them. It helps to now what is A and what is B to provide more accurate answers. If you know write:\n the name of A +the name of B +converters +filters +download +free\nin the search of your intenet browser and it will show you some free sites\n\nBest regards\nSan2

Go to My Computer and then click on 'Folder Options' under the 'Tools' menu. Then select the 'File Types' tab and change the program you want to use for the particular file type that you're trying to open.

Sounds like the site you downloaded from was buggy, and didn't send the correct file type/name information, so your browser suggested the save name as the save script's name.\n\nTry renaming the file to some known media format extensions, e.g. .mpg, .mp4, .qt, .rm, .wmv , etc. and see if anything will open them. Or, open the file in a text editor to see if there's a readable header telling you what format it is. There are automated methods to identify some file types, search for "magic numbers"

try right clicking, where you downloaded it from, there might be more options that way. Also, don't forget to "check" ... "always ask about this type of file"

Certain file types that don't have proper program handlers will be downloaded on a click, rather than played in the appropriate program.\n\nTo fix that, right-click on an MPG file you do have and choose Properties\n\nWhere it says "Open With", click on the Change... button.\n\nSelect the program you want to have open the file and click OK.\n\nClick OK again to close all dialog boxes.
