[AccessD] Import from .prn File

I am trying to import some data from a .prn file.  When I open the file in
notepad it gives me gibberish, so I assume I will need to open it or convert
it with specific software.  I found a trial version of ABC Amber CSV
converter.  It claims to be able to convert a .prn to an Excel spreadsheet.
The trial version only imports 10 records, and they look just like the
gibberish in notepad, just put into columns.  I am a little reluctant to
spring even for $14.95  given the trial performance, but I have not found
anything else to allow me to read this file properly.

Does anyone have suggestions about how to import this file into Access?
