Tips to open XSU file
Can't open the XSU file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open XSU files as well as a list of programs that support XSU files.

The XSU file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the XSU files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the XSU file on each system platform.
What is XSU file?
The XSU file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is IBM. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Fortran 77 Library is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Fortran. This was created by IBM.
How to open XSU file?
The most common problem when using Fortran 77 Library is that a specific XSU is not associated with the program. This causes the file XSU to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XSU 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 Fortran
The first step is to check if the computer has the Fortran program installed. This can be achieved by typing Fortran into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XSU files.
Programs to open XSU file
Remember to download programs supporting XSU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Fortran with XSU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XSU file still does not use the Fortran 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. 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. 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 XSU file with the Fortran program.
Step 3. Update Fortran to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Fortran program with the Fortran 77 Library file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XSU file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The XSU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XSU file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XSU file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XSU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XSU file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XSU file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XSU except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 XSU file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XSU 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 XSU to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XSU file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
