The lss file extension is associated with Lotus Notes, originally developed by IBM as a client for Lotus Domino applications and services.
An lss file stores LotusScript source code. It is one of the source-code formats used with Domino Designer when developing or maintaining Notes and Domino applications.
Lotus Domino Designer and the related IBM Notes software are available for Microsoft Windows. LotusScript and the LSS format are legacy technologies, but they remain relevant when maintaining existing Notes and Domino applications.
Open an lss file in Lotus Domino Designer to edit and use the LotusScript source code in a Notes or Domino development project on Microsoft Windows.
Because the file contains source code, a text editor can also display its contents, but it cannot provide Domino Designer's project, design, or development features.
There is no standard conversion from an lss file to another file format. The source code can be opened and edited as text, or incorporated into a Notes or Domino application through Lotus Domino Designer, but this is not a format conversion.
