"An abandonned program - used to be great in its day"
Version: DataViz MacLinkPlus Deluxe 16.0010
Pros
This program helped me open many different types of files and look at the text content even if it couldn't translate them. In most cases, it could. That was in 2009 and before.
Cons
Today this program isn't listed on DataViz's website. They have not issued an update in over 2 years, and obviously it's not going anywhere. Meanwhile new formats for new programs and operating systems abound, so I don't recommend it for that reason.
Summary
Can still be helpful for certain translations, especially of older Windows format files to usable Mac format files. In fact I used to use it to translate from one windows format to another for friends who were strictly on windows platforms... done on my Mac. But these days most current software can open the "other" platform's file structures, and there is not so much need for this, which may be why DataViz shut it down.

"Handy, but they don't update enough & charge too much."
Version: DataViz MacLinkPlus Deluxe 16.0010
Pros
You can translate a fair number of files into different formats.
Cons
There are some formats you can't translate, and DataVis hasn't been issuing updates when new formats come put; you need to wait until they issue a new "version" and buy it again.
Summary
I won't keep buying it just for another few file translations.
