The file is flashwave
You need Adobe's free flash player,

I only know of/ find/ the .flw extension being associated with the
Incredimail IncredLWizard LetterCreator Workspace and with the Linux KDE
Kivio Flowchart program.

That would be the Kivio one. What is the context/ purpose of this CD?
If it is possible or likely that you have a CD with a Kivio flowchart
that you need to see, maybe someone could display it and shoot a
screenshot graphic or print it out.

If the file is an Incredimail workspace file, you might be able to
handle it with the free windows Incredimail program

I don't know what kind of file you are talking about and it sounds like
you don't know either.

I only know of Flash's .flv video files. FLV is not FLW.

"Kivio is a Visio (tm) style of application that allows you to create diagrams
and charts by using a library of pre-defined "stencils" (or extra stencils you
can purchase). Kivio is typically pre-loaded on any Linux distribution, but
only runs on Linux under KDE. This is not a Windows product."

Incrediblemail makes use of the extention, but it's not Flash according to
their site.

Can't you send them an e-mail?

 

Did we miss one? -> Linkware Version (2.16).

I don't know what linkware is, but it's linux too.

 

According to
<http://extensions.pndesign.cz/file-extensions-list-beginning-with-f:f:f>
that is probably a 'Freelance document' - Freelance is the "presentation
graphics" program which is now part of Lotus SmartSuite
<http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/products/product2.nsf/wdocs/sshome>.

There may well be other types of file that use the same suffix.

It is irresposible and inconsiderate to send someone a file in a
proprietary format without making sure that they can use it. Is there a
'reader' included on the CD?

I don't know of any non-Lotus software that can read Freelance files.
OpenOffice can't (although someone is probably working on it). You might
have to buy a copy of SmartSuite.

 

The Linkware Software of flukenetworks Cable Test Management Software
which saves its data as .flw file runs on Win2k or XP -- or at least
that is what the Linkware Stats software requires
