What is AVL file?
An ArcView Legend file is a text file that contains information about a map projection. It usually accompanies an ArcView GIS dataset. Linear equations must be added to the data in order for it to be projected correctly. The information within the ArcView Legend files includes grid size, what units are used, and what other projections are available.

Tools that will help you view AVL files
Sometimes you need to quickly preview the contents of a file with the AVL extension. In such a situation, many people decide to find a tool that, according to its creators, can display the contents of the AVL file and many other types of files (All in One Viewer).
Of course, there are such tools. However, it should be remembered that they may display the data contained in the AVL file differently than the application dedicated to handling the AVL file extension. When you cannot afford to have the data of the AVL file displayed different from the original, you should use the applications developed to work with the AVL file.
Below you will find a list of software programs that will help you with this. These software programs will help you view the content of the AVL file, minimizing possible errors that may arise with other tools.
