What is a GSO file

Usage: It stores user-created notes.

Opening: The proper way to view a GSO file is by using the GoldenSection Notes software.

Structure: It uses a proprietary structure that might not render correctly in standard text editors.

Conversion: Converting the file to a common format may require specialized tools.

FilExt.com note: If you want to explore the file content directly, be aware that without the native application, many of the internal data markers may appear confusing.

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file.
