pcAnywhere was available for Microsoft Windows and was used to connect to and manage remote computers. The PL9 format is obsolete, and current software may not support it.
Open the pl9 file with a compatible installation of pcAnywhere on Microsoft Windows. Because the format is obsolete, a current general-purpose application may not recognize it.
If a compatible version of pcAnywhere can open the pl9 file, use any available export or copy options to preserve its contents in a more accessible form.
