Hi All

Anybody know what a PVF file is, and how i can open it or convert it to a Win98 compatable file.



Cheers Eskimo

Do you have any idea at all what it could be related to? Have you opened it up in a hex editor to see if there is any information there? It is not listed on the www.filext.com website.

Took a quick look around: could be related to Keberos or perhaps to a sound editor.

It's mentioned as a sound format in a manual for a wave editor called Snd: quote:
___
Snd can handle the following file and data types:

read/write (many data formats):
NeXT/Sun/DEC/AFsp
AIFF/AIFC
RIFF (Microsoft wave)
IRCAM (old style)
NIST-sphere
no header
read-only (in selected data formats):
8SVX (IFF), EBICSF, INRS, ESPS,
SPPACK, ADC (OGI), AVR, VOC, PVF,
Sound Tools, Turtle Beach SMP, SoundFont 2.0,
Sound Designer I and II, PSION, MAUD, Kurzweil 2000,
Tandy DeskMate, Gravis Ultrasound, ASF, PAF, CSL,
Comdisco SPW, Goldwave sample, omf, quicktime
Sonic Foundry, SBStudio II, Delusion digital,
Digiplayer ST3, Farandole Composer WaveSample,
Ultratracker WaveSample, Sample Dump exchange,
Yamaha SY85, SY99, and TX16, Covox v8, SPL, AVI,
automatically translated to Sun 16-bit, then read/write:
IEEE text, Mus10 SAM 16-bit (modes 1 and 4), IBM CVSD, AVI
NIST shortpack, HCOM, Intel and Oki (Dialogic) ADPCM, MIDI sample dump

The other mention I see is for what looks like the eBooks type of thing - for Adobe Acrobat Readers: Check out this link:

The relation to Keberos is that those might be pay-to-read types of documents & are encrypted.

This is what I could come up with in five minutes, anyway. Post again if I'm not anywhere close & I'll take another look.
