Thanks Andrew and Steve, I appreciate your efforts.
I was hoping for a GUI App like Notepad or Wordpad that I could just open the file with.
I don’t have Python and so wanted to avoid having to learn yet another App and Commands.
The last Python I encountered (and Red Bellied Black Snake) was on the West Canungra Creek Track in the Lamington National Park back in Dec last year, and one Python is enough for me.
Steve, I think it is a list or Table of Quasars from the Sloan Deep Sky Survey so I suspect there are columns of data such as RA, DEC, etc.
I’m feeling a little cramped by z<=4 so wanted to explore further afield, at z>=5 and the 13+Gy territory, but I suspect I can also do this via SIMBAD and Aladin Lite.
Cheers
Dennis

Is it an actual image file? Or is it some sort of table / spreadsheet with both header data and multiple images within the data?
As Middy pointed out - if you're handy with Python programming then the 'astropy.io' or 'fitsio' modules will point you in the right direction.
Cheers,
