I guess it depends on what type of asp file and what you mean by "open".

asp can either by an "active scripting program" which is a proprietary 
Microsoft scripting language or it can be an MPEG4 encoded file.

Do you want to view the file or edit it?

If you want to view the file, and it is the Microsoft web scipting 
language, you need the server parsing part to make it readable.  If not, 
you can just open it with any text editor.

If it is an MPEG4 file, you need to open in with mplayer or something that 
does MPEG4 asp files.
