Extract text from settings and data files (WST)
To convert WST files to another format, you need Bitvise SSH Server or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Software Configuration File" file type, you need software like Bitvise SSH Server or a similar tool.
A .WST file typically serves one of four highly specialized, largely incompatible roles. It is most commonly an SSH server settings file used by the Bitvise SSH Server to store configuration data. Alternatively, it can be a Wave Sample Table used by the MAME emulator and Highly Advanced audio plugins to reproduce arcade game sounds, a localization text file containing dialogue for Rockstar Games, or a laser marking station script used in industrial TRUMPF TruMark systems.
Because these formats are highly proprietary, you cannot open them with standard text editors or media players without encountering garbled characters or formatting errors. The biggest disadvantage of a .WST file is its strict dependency on the original authoring software. A Bitvise settings file requires the Bitvise control panel to parse securely, while a Rockstar game localization file is often packed to prevent user tampering. You cannot simply double-click these files on a standard machine and expect them to open.
Standard online converters fail to process them because they are closed, proprietary formats. They do not map cleanly to standard targets like PDF or MP3. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. Convert.guru can identify the exact format and extract the internal text or hexadecimal structure. If our analysis detects standard plain text or an embedded wave table, viewing or extracting the raw data may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WST file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LANG, BGI, SVB and NZ files.
If you want to convert WST file to NZ, you can use Bitvise SSH Server or similar software from the "Configuration or Audio Tables" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to WST, try Bitvise SSH Server or another comparable tool in the "Configuration or Audio Tables" category.
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 WST converter.
