CanOpener is a commercial product. Darned good one too. It will allow you to
open and preview data in may forms. Primary purpose is to allow you to
open files for which you do not have the original application nor any
other application that will open them.

It also allows you to pull text out of corrupted files sometimes. Formatting
is lost, but it'll save you some retyping.
