To convert other file formats to the "Submission Archive" file type, you need software like IRAS Offline Entry Application or a similar tool.
About DON files
The .DON file extension represents two distinct data formats used in enterprise and government environments.
IRAS Donation Submission File: The most critical use is by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) for valid donation record submissions. While these files are technically ZIP archives containing XML or TXT data, they are generated with a .DON extension to deter tampering.
The Problem: Users often need to verify the contents of a generated submission file before uploading it to the IRAS portal, but the OS does not recognize the extension.
The Solution: Since the internal structure is a standard archive, you can often simply rename the extension to .ZIP to extract and view the enclosed data (usually CSV or XML) in Microsoft Excel or a text editor.
HP System Recovery Script: These files are used by HP utilities like the HP System Software Manager (SSM). They are typically plain text scripts used to automate driver installation or system recovery tasks.
The Problem: System administrators encountering these files during audits may not know if they contain binary code or readable text.
The Solution: Convert or open these files with a standard text editor like Notepad++ to view the installation logic.
