The TOK file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TOK files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TOK file on each system platform.
What is TOK file?
The TOK file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is Micro Focus International plc. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Borland C++ 4.x External Tokens is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Borland C++ to handle this file. This is a program created by Micro Focus International plc.
How to open TOK file?
The main problem with Borland C++ 4.x External Tokens is that the TOK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TOK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TOK 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 Borland C++
In this case, you should first verify that the Borland C++ application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Borland C++ into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TOK with Borland C++. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TOK files.
Programs to open TOK file
Remember to download programs supporting TOK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Borland C++ with TOK files
If, despite the installed application, the TOK file does not start in the Borland C++ application, you must create a file 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TOK file with the Borland C++ program.
Step 3. Update Borland C++ to the latest version
If, however, after binding Borland C++ with Borland C++ 4.x External Tokens there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Micro Focus International plc page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TOK 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. Usually this applies to TOK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TOK file. Sometimes virus-infected TOK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TOK files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TOK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Micro Focus International plc
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TOK 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TOK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TOK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TOK to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
