.ent files should be associated with molmol and can be opend with molmol viewer.

hi

mb extension is linked to MapBasic Program from MapInfo Corporation
MapBasic is a BASIC-like programming language used to create custom applications for use with MapInfo Professional or special MapInfo runtimes.
you can see mapbasic program at http://extranet.mapinfo.com/products/Overv...?productid=1063

these informations come from http://filext.com/, "The File Extension Source"

remark : they have a quite exhaustive list of extension, and whenever i have a problem with an extension, i try to get the information there. They also often associate a description of the program supposed to read the file. I've submitted two of new extensions there and noticed that they have checked the information i gave. I think that's nice.

Tell me if this program (map basic) is the good one. That's interesting for me !
Hope helps.

Thank you Veteran. I will check out the links you give me. Anyway, I guess MOLMOL will work.
