OpenBoardview will not open BVRE files

[jkb242]

There are some resources here with BVRE file extension but I have been unable to open any of them with the Windows version of Openview software.

The file format is simply not supported when attempting to open with Openview 8.0 or 9.03, the only released versions of OpenView that I have been able to find. Any solution for this with Openview?

Much thanks,

BVRE files are encrypted. Unless the encryption type and key is published, OpenBoardView will not be able to support them.

Thanks very much. No clue this was encrypted so thanks. I wonder why any in the forum would post without a key. What would be the point? Thanks indeed again.

Custom file formats and encryption for data files is usually used as a vendor lock-in mechanism.
