Extension: MUF
Program and/or Extension Function [What's This?]		Company [What's This?]
Alpha Five Temporary Access Control File		Alpha Software, Inc.
Specific Notes [What's This?]
MUF files are temporary files that Alpha Five creates to control the number of people who can concurrently open a database. If a user has a 3 user a5 license, then: when person 1 opens the database, the .MUF file with the same name as the .ADB file is created and a count of 1 is recorded in the .MUF file. When person 2 opens, the count in the .MUF file is increased to 2. When person 3 opens, the count in the .MUF file is increased to 3. When person 4 tries to open the count in the .MUF file would exceed the number of licenses, so person 4 gets an error message. When person 3 closes, the count in the .MUF file is reduced to 2 and person 4 could open. When all users close the count in the MUF file is 0 and the .MUF file is deleted by Alpha Five. If a crash occurs the .MUF file may be left on disk, preventing other users from accessing the application. In this case all users should exit Alpha Five and the MUF should be manually deleted.

General Info

• If the extension you are looking for is of the form .??_ the file is likely a compressed file and part of an install routine. When the install program runs it will expand the file and replace the underscore with the proper letter for the file type.
• If the file is sent as an audio file with any three-character extension it may be a dictation file where the extension is the dictator's initials; playable by BCB Voice Systems software (see ??? extension). The file could likewise be a dictation file in TrueSpeech format. Use Windows Sound Recorder and/or Media Player to play these back.
• If the extension you are looking for has a number at the end or is only a number and there were no results consider entering the same extension format using zero or one as some programs produce numbered split files but when the split can be extensive (e.g., .000-.999) only the first entry is in the database.
