Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The $$p file extension is associated with OS/2, IBM's operating system for IBM-compatible personal computers. OS/2 applications used these files to save notes data.
A $$p file is application data rather than a general-purpose document format. Its contents are therefore tied to the OS/2 application that created or used the file.
OS/2 is obsolete and was replaced by eComStation.
Open a $$p file with the OS/2 application that created it, using an OS/2 system or a compatible OS/2 environment. The file may not be usable as a standalone document because it contains application-specific notes data.
If the originating application is unknown, identifying that application is necessary before attempting to open the file.
Conversion of $$p files depends on the OS/2 application that created them. If that application can open the file, use its export or save options to move the notes into a supported format.
Without the original application, the file cannot reliably be converted because its notes data is application-specific.
