The MDV file extension is associated with the SmartWare programming platform based on the FairCom database engine. SmartWare also includes word-processing, spreadsheet and communication modules. An MDV file contains a modem definition used by the communication module.
Open or use an MDV file with SmartWare on Microsoft Windows. The file is used through SmartWare's communication or modem configuration features rather than opened as a document.
There is no standard conversion for a SmartWare modem definition file. MDV files contain SmartWare-specific communication settings rather than document data that can be exported to a standard format.
To use the settings in another communication program, configure the modem manually in that program. Keep the original MDV file if it may still be needed by SmartWare.
