I'm trying to read a .sysz file it comes out in computer language. Is there any way I can change it to english?

Yes, use the "translate" command. Open a command prompt and change into the directory where the file resides and type "translate /english > filename.sysz".

e.g. if you have a file called "system.sysz" in the C:\WINNT directory you would:

1) Open command prompt
2) C:
3) cd \winnt
4) translate /english > system.sysz

Hope this helps!

NOTE: This is intended as a joke.  Try it on a meaningless file first.

I'm sorry, I should have also added that this command works very well on Windows system files as well. It will output the source code for any windows system file.  Run it on "win.com" for instance...

I get a bad command or fil name. I tried it ever which way.

Hmmm, works great on my machine, maybe you should try it on a few more system files....
