FormFlow
FormFlow
FormFlow was a product line of electronic forms created and sold initially by Delrina during early-to-mid 1990s. The first product developed under this line was PerForm that was created to work for GEM in DOS systems. FormFlow and FormFlow PRO programs that followed PerForm were created to run on Windows 3.1. Symantec bought Delrina in late 1995 until JetForm bought the electronic forms division in 1996. Accelio became the latter name of Jetform that was eventually absorbed by Adobe Systems. The product line officially ended in 2004. Two files associated with FormFlow software are FRL [Electronic Form Loader File] and FRZ [Locked FormFlow File] that can be opened by Accelio FormFlow or Adobe LiveCycle on Windows platform.a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .fro files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .fro. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
