About GRE files:

A GRE file is not a single universal format. It can be one of several types of data files. How the file works depends on the software that created it. Identify the source of your file before opening it.

Common uses include:

• Alaris Guardrails DataSet – This file is used with the Alaris Guardrails Editor. It holds operational data for systems that manage guardrails.
• Visma Global Report Export – This file type is exported by business software using a Microsoft Compound file structure. For details or support, users can check with Mamut Business Software or visit the Visma website.
• Garmin Run Exercise – This format holds exercise data from Garmin devices. It is sometimes known as a Golden Software Grapher file. More information is available at Garmin Connect.

Functionality:

Each GRE file stores structured data meant to be used by its native application. Opening the file with the right software displays the data correctly.

GRE file format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our examination of the GRE files comes to the following conclusion:
