Also try:

$ strings examplefile.img | head -10

and

$ od -bc examplefile.img | head -10

this should be a disk image (like a iso image). install something like "deamon tools" in windows and open the img file as a disk with the tools... should be worth a try...

RE: Read/View .img files from SunOs 5.8

I tried your suggestion but it didn't recognize the file. So I spent some more time researching the software (on SunOS 5.8) which produces these files and my research uncovered a company (Media Cybernetics) which has a tool, AutoQuant X (Media Cybernetics - Image Processing Software | Image Deconvolution | 3D Visualization) , which promises to be able to read these files. I am going to download a trial version and report what I discover.

It would be a big win for us to be able to find a tool capable of reading these images. These are used in a cardiology office.

Thanks again for your help.
