I always assumed they were encrypted. After all, Epicor wouldn't want you to understand to much about how their software works.

Ned,
You are correct about the BPM directory. In nine years using progress,
I have never seen a unreadable ",p" file.
I wonder if maybe they are encrypted because there is also an ".r" in
that directory.

It varies, some/many .p and .i are compiled and not viewable or editable
in
a text editor.
the UD Test Directory allows Epicor to show you that you can write your
own
.p and .i files and use them without compiling them, but manyof their .p
and
.i files are in fact compiled and you will not be able to see or do
anything
with them in a text editor.
Just look inside the Server\core folder or the Server\BPM folders.
