Click For Summary
The .GPM file format, identified as Graphics Printing Format, appears to be associated with CAD and .DXF formats. Users are seeking software capable of opening .GPM files, as the contents suggest a structured data format, possibly related to graphic or data visualization tasks. The file includes references to various statistical terms and concepts, indicating it may be used for data analysis or educational purposes, such as crossword puzzles related to scientific terminology. There is a suggestion that the file might have been sourced from a video streaming context, although its exact application remains unclear. The urgency of the inquiry highlights the need for compatible software to access and utilize the information contained within .GPM files.

URGENT: ".GPM" file format - CAD/DXF?

Does anyone know what software a .GPM (Graphics Printing Format) file can be opened in? It seems to be related to CAD and .DXF formats.

If anyone has a piece of CAD software that they could use to open this I'd sure appreciate it. (I'll fwd the file to you when I here from you).The contents look like this:

@DaveC426913 I know it's been a very long time, but do you remember ever solving this issue? Did you find an app to open it?
 
Indeed it has been a while.
So long in fact, that I don't even remember posting this, let alone anything about it.

(How urgent could a crossword puzzle be?)

All seriousness aside, I had to go to LinkedIn to see what contract I was at then. It was a video streaming company that captured horse races and such on satellite feed and streamed them at various bit rates. I was responsible for writing the scheduling software that turned the digitizers on and off.

Maybe one of the feeds was of type .GPM.

I'm pretty sure the file I included was a sample I grabbed somewhere online - for the sake of clarity - not real data I was using.

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
