I got some file sample.mt from client, and when i open info, it reveals as UNIX Executable

file. But, actually when i replaced the extension with zip, i could extract the file content.

And it appears to be folder. Can any one say what exactly UNIX Executable file means and how

is it created. By the way, that is created in Windows OS it seems.

    That’s the file client created on some
    other platform and i have to read that
    file programmatically in Mac OS X

    If read means execute, well, you cannot: you tried to run it and it would not run. Then it’s not a valid MacOS X program. Period. He can send you a JPEG picture and you won’t be able to run it no matter what you try.

    If read means extract some piece data, the issue of being a Unix executable or not is completely irrelevant. You need to:

    1. Know the format specification
    2. Use a tool to extract data or code your own

    You must be omitting important information because I don’t think that someone just dropped a file in your inbox and asked for an estimate to “read the file”.
