Instructify

Have you ever had a colleague or student send you a file you have no idea how to open? If unfamiliar file extensions like “ODT,” “RGH” or “$S“ make you want to shout “!@#$%” you should visit OpenWith.org, a site that helps you find the program that will open whatever file you have — most of the time with free software. Spreadsheets, images, plugins, OpenWith can find all sorts of file types. Simply search for your mystery extension and OpenWith will find a program that can read it. You can also download a handy desktop tool to make looking up extensions even easier.  It’s an EXE file, in case you were wondering. That’s one file type you shouldn’t have to look up. -BILL FERRIS
