What if you downloaded an unkown file

If you can't download [None] software, or if it doesn't work to open your UNKNOWN file, you may be able to use the file type as a clue to finding out how you can open it. On a Mac, select "More info" and "Kind". Because many programs packages utilize Misc Files, you might be able to find a program on your computer that handles those types of files.
