What is a .A01 file?
The .A01 file extension is part of a series of files that are created when a large file is split into smaller parts using a program called ALZip. ALZip is a software designed for Windows computers that helps in compressing files to save space and make them easier to share. When a file is too big, ALZip can break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces. These pieces are known as a spanned archive. The .A01 file is the third piece in this series of split files. The first piece is saved with the .ALZ extension, and the second piece has the .A00 extension. After the .A01 file, the next piece would be the .A02 file, and this pattern continues until the entire original file is split into the necessary number of parts. To use these split files or to put the original large file back together, you need to have all the parts of the spanned archive, including the .A01 file. Without all the pieces, you won't be able to reconstruct the original file. The main program that can open and work with .A01 files is ESTsoft ALZip. This software understands how to take the .A01 file, along with the other parts like .ALZ, .A00, and any others, and combine them back into the original, large file. This process is necessary if you want to access the information or content that was split into these smaller files.
