Ok, you obviously mean kB or KiB. The difference is not very big, but I
guess kB, so we are talking about 56 MB here, which is exactly 56·10⁶ B.
Then I'm also assuming your comma character is a thousands separator and
not a decimal separator – even though that's not the case in about half of
all the countries in the world, mine included.

Yes, that's indeed a very big file. Way too big to attach anywhere, I
think. Files attached to this mailing list are usually stripped off, no
matter what size they are, so if you want someone to have a look at them,
you need to upload them somewhere and provide a link to them.

If you can't open a file just because there's a file in the same folder
with its name ending with ”.lock”, just remove that file and try again.
That file is there to prevent someone else to open the file in edit mode
when it's already opened by someone else. If Apache OpenOffice crash during
editing, the lock file is probably not removed automatically, therefore you
need to remove it manually.

However, you should be able to open the USB version, since there is
probably no lock file on it…



Kind regards
