::: Came across this file extension today, & would like to know what it is, and how it can be read.
:: Someone posted an answer in which I think they said it was a Microsoft Excel file, but I don't have Excel.

There are 2 known types so far known.This is from a program called 'FileExt' :

CSV (1) Comma Separated Value; Used by Microsoft Excel (among others)
CSV Palette; CompuShow

This little help file lists hundreds of File Extensions so far used in the Cyber world, try opening it in 'wordpad' or 'notepad' but it just might show jibberish.

You can also open CSV files with Notepad. I think they are ASCII files so you could write a Basic program to read them too.
