in reply to How to Determine a File's Character Code
In Windows land, I would and did run a google against "file .EDK". Maybe this thing really is a "Ensoniq KT Disk Image"?. There are other options and you will have to hunt. If this thing is a binary file and you are seeing binary and occasional text strings, figuring out what it all means is a pretty tall order if you have no idea what this file is, what made it or where it came from.
