LinuxQuestions.org - Reading/Modifying .rcc file (believe to be ELF)

Hi, I posted a similar question in another forum looking for software, but this is probably more appropriate since I know near nothing of Linux.

I have a file which I believe now to be a Linux executable written in ELF. That sentence could be totally wrong but here is the first line of code from a file named "about.rcc"

Code:

ELF            äº4  T{#    4   ( % "   4  4€4€           4  44                € €ÚÚ ÚÚ           à  `         `          Ø          xä xd        xd        ð  ð        H  HH            Påtd6 ¶¶Ü  Ü      Qåtd                        /lib/ld-linux.so.2        GNU          ƒ  ¾  .          l  z      ’              œ  ?  \  ²    +  ¦  {  J  p  e  ]  N          Œ  1  µ              7  w  -  W  ·                š      E    !  I  £  ¨  Ÿ    ®  ½          »  F  _        ¼  _      n          ¡        ‘  °  ^  ¤      «  G  R  i      h  ¬        C  o  ™  8  c      ˜  ª        ¢          „  ž  ¯    º  ©  –  |  ±    “  †      Ž  ¸  ‹  x            K    ´  t      ‡  v  Y  0  —  u  ‰  ¶  Š

Honestly, I have no idea what this is. Further down in the code I can find some MySql commands, the very first word(ELF) is what I started searching on and found it as Executable Linking Format. If it helps, the server uses RedHat.

I am trying to help someone update their website, but when I got access to it, I realized I don't know what this is.(I do HTML, XHTML, CSS, customize PHP/MySql)

If someone could tell me a way which I could actually see the code(some sort of editor), I believe that will give me a good enough start.

Thanks

Chris
