Actually, I particularly need help with .tre files. I have a few I would like to read and I was told I would be able to with this program, but when I open them it's just gibberish. Anyone know what I can do? Thanks.

*.tre files are generated from a couple of different programs.

Check out this page on FILExt.com for more info.

Actuaclly unfortunately it didn't. :-( The program these tre files were created by isn't listed, and actually overall that page didn't provide much info about these files or what to do with them... Just more software to buy for my pc. :-( Thanks anyway.

OK....

If it was from one of those programs, then at least you would have had a direction to look in: user forums, FAQ, newsgroups, Knowledge Bases, etc.

Since it's not generated from one of the programs listed, will this work?

:idea: How about PowerDesk 5 (replacement for Windows Explore), from VCOM with a built in viewer? May possibly be able to help you.

So there's no way to read .tre files with textpad then? I assumed there was a way since it's part of this program's description.

Edit: by the way, I downloaded that program too in case it would help, but it doesn't handle tre files. I tried anyway, and all it did was act like a second windows browser. I tried clicking the tre files, and it tried to open them with treeview which doesn't work either.

I'm out of ideas at the moment, but hang in there, I am sure someone else will have an answer for you.

Thanks for feedback re PowerDesk 5 and *.tre......

Is .tre a binary file?? maybe the giggerish your referring to might very well not be gidderish, just you dont understand it... try opening a jpg file in TP.. see if the gibberish resembles that.

My 2 cents for what its worh .. maybe 1 cent..maybe 0 cents...
