Why can't you use Turbo Lister to open the file?

Been there.

Turbo Lister saves the file in some sort of weird non-standard format, I quit using TL a long time ago, I think I did this once by going to Excel and trying to open it in all the possible file formats one by one.

Try that and see if you get something to work.

Or open a new Turbo Lister account on a different device, import your old files into the new TL, and then use the option in TL that lets you save in a standard CSV or Tab delimited format that normal data processing programs like Excel can use.

It's just data, it isn't encoded using your user id or anything.
