What is INFO-16 file?
The INFO-16 file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Red Hat, Inc.. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Cygwin Info is most often found on 1 operating systems.

How to open INFO-16 file?
An often recurring problem with Cygwin Info is that INFO-16 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that INFO-16 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-16 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Cygwin
The first step is to check if the computer has the Cygwin program installed. To do this, enter the name Cygwin into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file INFO-16.
Programs to open INFO-16 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-16 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-16 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the INFO-16 file still does not use the Cygwin program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the INFO-16 file with the Cygwin program.
Step 3. Update Cygwin to the latest version
If, however, after binding Cygwin with Cygwin Info there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Red Hat, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INFO-16 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the INFO-16 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the INFO-16 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover INFO-16 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the INFO-16 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INFO-16 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Red Hat, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INFO-16 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the INFO-16 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INFO-16 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
