The MEXN file extension is associated with MATLAB software from MathWorks. A MEXN file contains dynamically linked subroutines for NeXT systems.
MATLAB uses these compiled routines to provide additional functions. A MEXN file is a component loaded by MATLAB rather than a standalone document or project file.
A MEXN file can be loaded by the historical MATLAB environment for which it was built, on a compatible NeXT system.
There is no meaningful general-purpose conversion for a MEXN file because it contains compiled, platform-specific subroutines. If the original source code is available, the routine can instead be rebuilt as a MEX file for a supported MATLAB platform.
