(Wrong forum, moved.)

1. Where does the file come from?
2. Can you quote us its first few bytes in hexadecimal? (If you don't know how to do that, run od -N 32 -x FILENAME, using the GNU "od" utility: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm.)
3. Try to identify it with the GNU "file" utility: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/file.htm.
4. Also search for "file type identifier" on Google and try some of the hits.
