Files with alg file extension are mainly related to ER Mapper program and used for its algorithm data files.
Found 3 different file type records with the same alg filename suffix.
What is alg file?
File type category:
GIS, GPS navigation and map file
Date updated: June 3, 2019
The alg file extension is related to EP Mapper. Instead of a disk-to-disk based processing used by older technology products (even if they hide it behind a GUI), ER Mapper combines processing steps into an algorithm, and uses this to display the processed imagery.
This means files of any size, with any level of complexity, can be processed in real time. No more waiting, and no more temporary disk files. And when it's time to save the processed image, all that needs to be saved is the algorithm file, a small (normally 6K or less) ASCII text file.
How to open alg file?
Use ERDAS ER Mapper to open *.alg algorithm data files.
How to convert alg file?
ER Mapper may be able to export *.alg files to other formats.

PDP-10 ALGOL compiler source
File type category:
Source code and script file
Date updated: February 25, 2019
The alg file extension is associated with the ALGOL (ALGOrithmic Language) a programming language for PDP-10 mainframe computers. The .alg file stores source for compiler.
The PDP-10 was a mainframe computer manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) from the late 1960s.
Most likely some old format without support. No further information could be found.
