.por files

I got these data files from a client in the form of .por files, and I aparently do not have whatever program is required to open such files - anyone know what program that might be?

lol, interesting thought, but this client is the IRS, so I sincerely doubt there's any funny business going on there.

Hmm, well I have SPSS on this computer, and it wont open them there, and it would be awfully strange for data to be in a painter portfolio program file wouldnt it?

Intersting, SPSS it is, it just needed to be told that that was the right program for it. Thanks!
