What is a OWL file?
OWL is developer file that store code written in Obfuscated Weird Language (OWL) programming language. OWL file contain source code written using only integers and 26 variables (letters from A to Z). OWL is a fork of the popular C language with support for additional GNU packages.
OWL file require an dedicated interpreter to be installed in order to open it. The interpreter is available for various operating systems that support GNU Compiler Collection library. OWL was created in 2005 by Antonio Maschio and was based on another esoteric programming language called BogusForth.

How to open OWL files
If you cannot open the OWL file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports OWL among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the OWL file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the OWL format files
The inability to open and operate the OWL file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the OWL (Obfuscated Weird Language) Source Code Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a OWL file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the OWL file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the OWL from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the OWL format
- The OWL file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the OWL file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a OWL file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the OWL file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the OWL file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the OWL file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.OWL) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected OWL file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the OWL file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. OWL) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
