Extract text from Software packages (DEPOT)
To convert DEPOT Packages to another format, you need HP_SD-UX / Logitech_G_HUB or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Unix Software Archive" file type, you need software like HP_SD-UX / Logitech_G_HUB or a similar tool.
A .DEPOT file typically represents one of two distinct formats: a software distribution archive for HP-UX systems, or a device resource package used by Logitech G HUB.
In the context of HP-UX (Unix), these files are containers created by the Software Distributor (SD-UX). They function similarly to TAR or RPM files, bundling software, patches, and metadata for installation via the swinstall command. The primary disadvantage for modern users is the format's legacy nature and platform lock-in; opening a .DEPOT archive on Windows or standard Linux often requires specific extraction tools or command-line wizardry, as standard archivers like 7-Zip may not recognize the proprietary headers. To access the contents (scripts, binaries, text) on a non-HP system, the best workflow is converting or extracting the archive to a standard TAR or raw directory structure.
Alternatively, if found within a Logitech G HUB directory, the file contains firmware data or device resource definitions. These are internal, proprietary blobs used to manage peripherals like mice and keyboards. Users often encounter them when troubleshooting bulky driver installations. These files are not meant for direct editing; however, for diagnostic purposes, advanced users may attempt to parse them as text or binary data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DEPOT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GWD, NPZ and DOI files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DEPOT converter.
