Some of the older files have unrecognizable extensions, and FVP can help me determine the purpose of the file and whether I should explore it further.

Cons It was a bit challenging to get it to open properly from ZTreeWin, my preferred file organization tool, but once I did, it has worked very well. Review Source JR Justin R.
