Prodigy was an online service that offered subscribers access to networked services including news, weather, shopping, bulletin boards, games, polls, expert columns, banking and stock information.
The .ksh file stores Internet registration data for the Prodigy service.
Prodigy is obsolete, so this format is no longer commonly used.
This file was intended for use by the original Prodigy software. Because the Prodigy service is obsolete, there is no commonly available modern program for opening or using a KSH file directly.
A KSH file cannot normally be converted to a standard document or data format. Its registration data was intended for the Prodigy software, so any useful export would require the original software or a compatible legacy system.
