What is a .ORG file?
An .ORG file is a type of data file that was created using a program called Lotus Organizer. This program was designed to help people manage personal information. Inside an .ORG file, you might find details like calendar events, contact information for different people, a list of tasks to do, and personal plans.
The program that primarily opens and uses .ORG files is called IBM Lotus Organizer, which was a part of a larger suite of tools known as Lotus SmartSuite. However, it's important to note that Lotus Organizer and the entire Lotus SmartSuite were discontinued in 2013, which means they are no longer being updated or sold.
The .ORG file format has a history of updates and changes. Over time, as Lotus Organizer was updated, the format of the files it created also changed. Here’s a brief overview of the versions and their respective file formats: - Version 1 and 1.1 used the .ORG file format. - Version 2 used the .OR2 file format. - Version 97 (also known as version 3.1) used the .OR3 file format. - Version 97 GS (versions 4 and 4.1) used the .OR4 file format. - Version 5 used the .OR5 file format. - Version 6 used the .OR6 file format.
Since Lotus Organizer is no longer available, if you need to open an .ORG file, you might have to look for alternative software that supports opening older file formats, or consider converting the file to a more current format that can be accessed by modern personal information management software.
