GT2 file format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our examination of the GT2 files comes to the following conclusion:

GT2 is rarely used as a file extension and predominantly uses a uniform format. The following file formats are most commonly found in GT2 files:

95% of all GT2 files start with the magic bytes ALANNA , which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The files are often between 55 KB and 100 KB in size. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. The following keywords are characteristic: ALANNA, Canada, Intuit, Module and Summary. These files are often associated with ontario, faux, limited, canada, corporation, metro, construction, consulting, manitoba, software, corp and sred.
