.a65 File Extension
Developer:
Adobe Systems
File type:
Authorware 6.5 File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .a65. Files with the file extension .a65 can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .a65 files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .a65 file?
Files with the .a65 extension are application development projects created using version 6.5 of the Authorware program, and these A65 files are stored in an unpackaged format. This means these unpackaged Authorware 6.5 application development projects have yet to be completed and finalized in a distributable format. This also means files in the .a65 format can be opened and edited using the Authorware 6.5 program (or later versions). Macromedia developed the Authorware software until version 7, and Macromedia has been bought by Adobe Systems as of this writing. Installing the Authorware 7 software into a Microsoft Windows-based system will implement support for these A65 files, and there is also a version of Authorware 7 that can be installed and used in Mac platforms. Since these A65 files are classified as data files, these contain objects and elements entered by the creators of these files. These A65 files may also reference other associated files and retrieve objects stored in other files when required by the user.
how to open a .a65 file?
Launch a .a65 file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .a65 file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .a65 files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .a65 file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .a65 file will open the correct application.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .a65 files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .a65. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
