[dba-Tech] How to open emz files?

Hi Gustav:

To my understanding it is a pure proprietary Microsoft display format that is pre-compressed. Until there is a open standard method for using this type of format it is unlikely to be used...not even Adobe can handle those files. (I have heard that the format implementation may be banned in Europe?)

Hi all

Someone sends me emz image files. These are gzip'ed Windows Enhanced Metagraphic files.

I can drag and drop them onto an open Word or PowerPoint in document view, and they display at once in the document.
But how can I open them directly so I would be able just to double-click an emz file?
