What is S01 file?
The S01 file has been categorized as Text Files. It was designed by Corel Corporation. Additionally, the Text Files category contains 440 of other files. Corel WordPerfect Distribution Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use ZipSplitter to handle this file. This is a program created by Lithops Software. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. You can use WordPerfect Office in case ZipSplitter cannot be used.
How to open S01 file?
An often recurring problem with Corel WordPerfect Distribution Format is that S01 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file S01 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 S01 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 ZipSplitter
The first step is to check if the computer has the ZipSplitter program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZipSplitter in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file S01 with ZipSplitter. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open S01 files.
Programs to open S01 file
Remember to download programs supporting S01 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZipSplitter with S01 files
If, despite the installed application, the S01 file does not start in the ZipSplitter application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the S01 file with the ZipSplitter program.
Step 3. Update ZipSplitter to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ZipSplitter program, it is possible that Corel WordPerfect Distribution Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Lithops Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S01 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The S01 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the S01 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file S01 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover S01 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 S01 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 ability to automatically repair S01 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted S01 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the S01 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the S01 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file S01 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the S01 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
