Compression reduces the space required to store the text, while the original text content remains recoverable.
A TX~ file is a compressed counterpart to a txt file. After decompression, the resulting TXT file can be handled as ordinary plain text.
Open a TX~ file with a compression utility that supports the compression method used to create it. Extract the file first; then open the resulting TXT file in a text editor.
To convert a TX~ file to TXT, decompress or extract it and save the resulting text as a TXT file. No separate text converter is normally needed.
