How to open INFO-30 file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-30 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

Programs to open INFO-30 file

Remember to download programs supporting INFO-30 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-30 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-30 file to open in the Cygwin application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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-30 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-30 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the INFO-30 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file INFO-30 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-30 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the INFO-30 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INFO-30 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Red Hat, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INFO-30 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the INFO-30 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INFO-30 to close. However, some background programs may block the INFO-30 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
