What is CNT file?
The CNT (Help Contents File) file extension is most commonly associated with the HLP files in Microsoft Windows® operating systems. It is an index file which contains the structure to provide users with organized access over help indexes, nested within the Microsoft help contents tree. These help contents may include topics, reference guides and tutorials for understanding software applications and related Microsoft systems. [ ⏩ ] CNT file extension

How to convert the file from CNT to GLO?
To successfully convert the CNT file to GLO, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.CNT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case GLO (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than GLO).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. CNT to GLO. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting CNT files to GLO files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension GLO, while before this step we had the CNT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new GLO file, or not.
