The RMK file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the RMK files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the RMK file on each system platform.
What is RMK file?
The file in the RMK format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by Grafx Software Development Tools. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. CA Clipper RMake Makefile is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is CA-Clipper. This was created by Grafx Software Development Tools.
How to open RMK file?
An often recurring problem with CA Clipper RMake Makefile is that RMK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file RMK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RMK 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 CA-Clipper
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CA-Clipper is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CA-Clipper into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RMK with CA-Clipper. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RMK files.
Programs to open RMK file
Remember to download programs supporting RMK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CA-Clipper with RMK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RMK file still does not use the CA-Clipper program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CA-Clipper application as the default for handling the RMK file.
Step 3. Update CA-Clipper to the latest version
If, however, after binding CA-Clipper with CA Clipper RMake Makefile there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Grafx Software Development Tools website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RMK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The RMK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RMK file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RMK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RMK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RMK file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RMK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Grafx Software Development Tools, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RMK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the RMK file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RMK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
