I was sent a .ulf file and I have been trying to open it using various software.
I read at http://fileinfo.com/extension/ulf that this file can be open using gis software.
Data file formatted in Universal List Format (ULF); contains a list of elements similar to an .XML document; often used by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications to store coordinates and vertexes.
Can anyone confirm this and if so, how do I open the file using this software?
The same page you reference says it can be opened by Geosystems MRF Mapping Tool Kit so the the answer to your title question must be yes.
Whether or not the file can be opened by many GIS systems I don't know, I've never come across the format before. I see it isn't listed in the file formats supported by GDAL, either:
So despite its Universal name, I think that it's likely to be a proprietary format for the MRF suite of products.
