About E0X files:

The E0X file is a project file used by Buildsoft Global Estimate. It stores project information for estimates and is built on a ZIP-based structure. This means its contents are compressed and organized to hold project settings and data.

You can open and view these files only with the Buildsoft Global Estimate application. If you need to inspect the file contents, you may try renaming the file extension to .zip and then extract it using a standard archive tool. However, modify the file only if you are sure of what you are doing as editing internal project configurations may cause issues.
