Use Another Program
If you can’t view the VAR file by double-clicking it, try opening it in a different program. Some of the most popular programs for opening VAR files are Unknown Apple II File, Cokriging Software VARIO Output File, and Icon Author Variable. Check out the developers’ websites, download one or more of these programs, then try to open your VAR file again.
Get a Clue From the File Type
One file extension can be used for multiple types of files. Knowing the type of file you have can help you find out how to open it. Most VAR files are categorized as Developer Files, which can be opened by numerous software packages. See if you have a program already installed on your computer that’s designed to open Developer Files. Hopefully, this program might also work with your VAR file.
You can find out which type of file your VAR file is by looking at the file’s properties. Just right-click the file icon and select “Properties” or “More Info.” On a Windows computer, the file type will be listed under “Type of File”; on a Mac, it will be under “Kind.”
Contact a Developer
Nobody knows more about file extensions than software developers. If you can’t open your VAR file using any of the usual programs, you can contact the program’s software developer and ask them for help. Find your program’s developer in the list below:
| Software | Developer |
|---|---|
| Unknown Apple II File | found on Golden Orchard Apple II CD Rom |
| Cokriging Software VARIO Output File | PC Software Company |
| Icon Author Variable | Windows Software |
| Infinity Game Engine Game Start Variable Data | BioWare Corp. |
| Sterling Software Data Dictionary File | Microsoft Programmer |
| WebHub Web Session Data | HREF Tools Corp. |
| My Personal Programmer Variables | M:Pact Technologies |
Get a Universal File Viewer
When no other program will open your VAR file, universal file viewers like File Magic (Download) are here to save the day. These programs can open many different types of files, so if none of the above tips work, a universal file viewer is the way to go. Note that some files are not compatible with universal file viewers and can only be opened in binary format.
