Hi Peter
The files Cardfile.ex_ and Cardfile.hl_ are probably compressed.
(They would get uncompressed and renamed when the cardfile
program installs them.)
You could try uncompressing them with Winzip or a similar
"unzipper" program. You'd have to tell Winzip what name to
give them, but that's easy...you already know what the final
file names will be.
