I realize I'm probably in the wrong place, but am trying to figure out in what language a certain program was written. How can I determine that? Looks like this ( 6C:\Program Files\MacGAMUT 2003\MGProgressions 2003.mgh $Ùë m ‘|ôÚë W D~`ÕA~ÿÿÿÿYÕA~ð™I ~ f ) but I realize it may be encrypted or something.

You can use hex editor and evaluate the headers of the .exe.

which may or may not tell you anything whatsoever.
A compiler may or may not put any specific strings in there, and those strings may or may not uniquely identify that compiler.
