Joergj: Identification added

{{FormatInfo

}}
'''WinHelp annotation''' files (.ann) are annotations to [[HLP (WinHelp)]] files.
These in principal use the same structure as the HLP files.
Therefore, these are not pure text files, but they are rather binary files.
The annotation parts themselves are embedded as simple text.

==Identification==
Files start with hex {{magic|3F 5F 03 00}} like WinHelp samples and at offset 0xD4 with bytes <code>62 6D 66 01 00</code>.

Joergj: remove garbage text with Easy CD Creator before CLSID table

:''"OLE" redirects here. See also [[OLE 1.0 object]].''

'''Microsoft Compound File''' is a complex container format used by some versions of [[Microsoft Office]], and other Windows-centric applications. It has features similar to those of a [[filesystem]] format.

Its name has many variations, including:
* '''Compound File Binary File Format''' ('''CFBF''' or '''CFB''')
* '''Microsoft Compound Document File Format'''
* '''OLE Compound Document Format'''
* '''OLE2 Compound Document Format'''
* '''Composite Document File'''
* '''DocFile'''

The format was not publicly documented by Microsoft until 2008.

It is (or was?) unofficially known as ''LAOLA File Format''.

== Identification ==
Files begin with signature bytes {{magic|D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1}}.

Identifying the specific document type can be difficult. Some, but not all, document types can be identified by the [[CLSID]] field in the "root storage" directory entry. This field is usually located at file offset 512×(1 + {the 32-bit integer at offset 48}) + 80.

Some files have a stream named "<code><U+0005>SummaryInformation</code>" containing metadata, which may include information about the creating application.

=== Root storage object CLSIDs ===
The table below lists some of the root storage object CLSIDs that have been observed in this type of file. Use this information at your own risk, as these identifiers can be unreliable.

Microsoft's documentation says this about the CLSID field:

<blockquote>This field contains an object class GUID. [...] If not [all zeroes], the object class GUID can be used as a parameter to start applications.</blockquote>

Although every ''storage object'' (think ''subdirectory'') can have a CLSID, this table is only concerned with the file's ''root'' storage object.

Note that the CLSIDs are stored as [[GUID]]s in little-endian binary format, so they have a strange byte order.

Joergj: add "older" Microsoft Publisher 2.0 to CLSID table

Easy CD Creator

Joergj: difference between CL2 and CL4 variant

{{FormatInfo
|formattype=electronic
|subcat=Disk Image Formats
|extensions={{ext|cl2}}, {{ext|cl3}}, {{ext|cl4}}, {{ext|cif}}
|released=1996
}}

In 1996 Adaptec purchased [[CDL|Corel CD Creator]] and it was combined with Easy-CD Pro to form Easy CD Creator<ref>https://cdrfaq.org/faq06.html#S6-1-2</ref>. CD Creator software allowed the user to create a Data or Audio CD layout by adding files or music in order to burn a disc. This layout could be saved for later use. The layout only referenced the file location and not the files themselves. It appears most versions were not backwards compatible with the saved "layout" file<ref>https://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/122116-recovery-of-cl3-files-made-by-easy-cd-creator-35/</ref>.

==File Identification==

CL2-CL4 files are based on the [[Microsoft Compound File]] format<ref>https://github.com/digipres/digipres.github.io/blob/master/_sources/registries/trid/triddefs_xml/cl4.trid.xml</ref>. All have similar internal structure.
The second directory entry name is Contents,
but the CL2 variant have zeroed Root storage object CLSID, whereas the CL4 variant use <code>{A9C39302-770A-11D1-893F-00802964B632}</code>.

Starting is CL4, Jewel Case/Label art is created in a separate application and saved as [[JWL]] files. Therefore files created in CL2 & CL3 cannot be opened in CL4.

CIF files are based on the [[RIFF]] format with type <code>imag</code><ref>http://mark0.net/download/triddefs_xml.7z → i → img-cif.trid.xml</ref> and contain an [[ISO_9660|ISO 9660]] filesystem image.

Microsoft Compound File

Joergj: added Easy CD Creator to CLSID table

{{FormatInfo
|formattype=electronic
|subcat=Metaformats

:''"OLE" redirects here. See also [[OLE 1.0 object]].''

'''Microsoft Compound File''' is a complex container format used by some versions of [[Microsoft Office]], and other Windows-centric applications. It has features similar to those of a [[filesystem]] format.

Its name has many variations, including:
* '''Compound File Binary File Format''' ('''CFBF''' or '''CFB''')
* '''Microsoft Compound Document File Format'''
* '''OLE Compound Document Format'''
* '''OLE2 Compound Document Format'''
* '''Composite Document File'''
* '''DocFile'''

The format was not publicly documented by Microsoft until 2008.

It is (or was?) unofficially known as ''LAOLA File Format''.

== Identification ==
Files begin with signature bytes {{magic|D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1}}.

Identifying the specific document type can be difficult. Some, but not all, document types can be identified by the [[CLSID]] field in the "root storage" directory entry. This field is usually located at file offset 512×(1 + {the 32-bit integer at offset 48}) + 80.

Some files have a stream named "<code><U+0005>SummaryInformation</code>" containing metadata, which may include information about the creating application.

=== Root storage object CLSIDs ===
The table below lists some of the root storage object CLSIDs that have been observed in this type of file. Use this information at your own risk, as these identifiers can be unreliable.

Microsoft's documentation says this about the CLSID field:

<blockquote>This field contains an object class GUID. [...] If not [all zeroes], the object class GUID can be used as a parameter to start applications.</blockquote>

Although every ''storage object'' (think ''subdirectory'') can have a CLSID, this table is only concerned with the file's ''root'' storage object.

Note that the CLSIDs are stored as [[GUID]]s in little-endian binary format, so they have a strange byte order.

'''PICT''', or '''QuickDraw/PICT''', is a graphics format native to Macintosh computers. It is associated with the QuickDraw API.

Though it is a vector format, it is often used as if it were a raster format. Many files contain just a single bitmap image.

PICT format is complicated and quirky. Although plenty of documentation about it exists, there does not appear to be any single source that provides a reasonably clear and complete specification.

== Format details ==
When PICT is used as a standalone file format, the file usually starts with an unused 512-byte header, usually with all bytes set to 0. When PICT is embedded as a resource inside some other format, this header is usually not present.

== Identification ==
A version 1 PICT file has (hex) bytes {{magic|11 01}} at offset 522 (or 10 if there is no header), and should end with {{magic|ff}}.

A version 2 PICT file has bytes {{magic|00 11 02 ff 0c 00}} at offset 522 (or 10 if there is no header), and should end with {{magic|00 ff}}.

== Application data ==
Custom application data can be stored in PICT files by using the "LongComment" opcode. Each comment has an integer that identifies its "kind".

* [http://www.opennt.net/projects/opennt/repository/revisions/26/entry/trunk/com/ole32/olecnv32/qdcoment.i A file with a list of comment kinds]

Notable comment kinds:
* 100 is an Application Comment (see below).
* 220 is used for [[ICC profile]] data.
* 498 appears to be related to [[Photoshop]], though it might also be used for other things.

The "kind" does little to identify the application, or prevent collisions. A better way is to use kind 100, which has a standard way to include a 4-byte application signature.

== Related formats ==
* Many bitmap images are compressed using [[PackBits]].
* Opcodes 0x8200 and 0x8201 use a format based on [[QuickTime]] or [[QTIF]]. This, in turn, is often used as a wrapper for an image in [[JPEG]] format.
* [[Macintosh resource file]] - Often contains "PICT" resources in this format
* PICT is used for graphics stored within [[Keynote]] documents.
* [[Encapsulated PostScript]]

== Converting ==

=== Converting from PICT ===

An image can be converted from a PICT using [[ImageMagick]]:
convert image.pict image.png
This example shows a [[PNG]] image as the destination image, but ImageMagick supports many other output formats.

=== Converting to PICT ===

An image can be converted to a PICT using ImageMagick:
convert image.png image.pict
This example shows a PNG image as the source image, but ImageMagick supports many other input formats.

==== Using converted images on a classic Mac system ====

Once converted, the image can then be added to a HFS disk image using [https://linux.die.net/man/1/hfsutils hfsutils]:
hmount disk.img # mount the HFS disk
hcopy ./image.pict :image.pic # copy the PICT image to the disk
hattrib -t PICT -c 8BIM :image.pic # set the type and creator codes to ensure that the image is recognised by Mac OS
humount # unmount the disk

[[T64]] is a tape image format for the Commodore 64, originally associated with the ''C64s'' emulator.

== Identification ==
The first 32 bytes of the file contain an ASCII signature that begins with "<code>C64</code>". Unfortunately, there are several variants of it, such as "<code>C64S tape file</code>", "<code>C64S tape image file</code>", and "<code>C64 tape image file</code>".

At offset 32 is a version number that should be either <code>0x00 0x01</code> or <code>0x01 0x01</code>.

==Overview==
The '''D64''', '''D71''', and '''D81''' file formats (and some variants, like X64 and F64) are Commodore 64 sector-based disk images. They contain a fixed amount of 256 byte sectors, and, optionally, a table with one byte for each sector to contain error information. This was an early attempt at supporting some of the older [[copy protection]] schemes which relied on CBM DOS returning some error code when trying to read a certain sector on disk. [[G64]] was a "raw" format able to handle more copy-protected disks.

'''diff''' is a family of formats associated with the traditional Unix <code>diff</code> utility, especially the GNU implementation of it. It encodes the differences between two files. It is often used in the form of a "patch" file that can be used to convert one file to the other.

Diff is intended for use with text files whose lines are mostly short, such as [[source code]].

== Formats ==
The <code>diff</code> utility can produce several different formats:

=== Normal diff ===
The default format, sometimes called "normal diff", contains just the differences, with no header or context.

=== Context diff ===
<code>diff -c</code> produces Context diff format. It has a header, and some contextual data that often makes it possible to patch files even after they have been modified.

It is characterized by lines with lots of asterisks:
***************

Note that the term "context diff" is sometimes used to mean "any diff format that features context" (which would include Unified diff, a different format).

=== Unified diff ===
Main article: [[Unified diff]]

<code>diff -u</code> produces Unified diff format. The idea is the same as with Context diff, but the format is more efficient and readable. It is characterized by lines that begin with "@@".

=== ed script ===
<code>diff -e</code> produces a script to be interpreted by the <code>ed</code> text editor. It was used for patch files before the introduction of the <code>patch</code> utility, but has long been obsolete for that purpose.

'''TSComp''' is the informal name of a compressed archive format used by some versions of the [[InstallShield]] installation software by The Stirling Group. It is also supported by a DOS utility named '''The Stirling Compressor'''. It uses [[PKWARE DCL Implode]] compression.

== Identifiers ==
For single-file archives, often the last letter of the filename extension is changed to "$". Sometimes an exclamation mark is used instead of the dollar sign, which appears to be the case when an archive with $ as the last name character already exists. For multi-file archives, the most common extensions seem to be '''.lib''' and '''.cmp'''.
Many archives of this type have no suffix but $ as last character of file name.
A few contain only a single file instead of several files.

== Identification ==
Files begin with bytes: {{magic|65 5D 13 8C 08 01}}.
At offset 8 the filename style byte is stored.
The value 1 means without wildcard.
This is typically the case for the single variant.

'''MS-DOS date''' and '''MS-DOS time''' are data formats associated with [[MS-DOS]]. They are used in some file formats from the MS-DOS era.

Each is a 16-bit integer of packed '''bit-fields''', not simple day or second counts since an origin (see spec below for exact bit field descriptions).

'''MS-DOS date''' represents a day in the range 1980 to 2099 (or maybe 2107, but dates after 2099 aren't always correctly handled).

'''MS-DOS time''' represents a 2-second interval within some day. The time is usually expected to be in "local time", and there is no indication of the time zone. This makes it fairly useless in the internet age.

Audacity Project Format

== Description ==

The Audacity Project Format is used by Audacity to store all the data related to an Audacity project - tracks, clips, envelope points, etc. As well as the '''.aup''' file, Audacity also stores a number of '''.au''' (lossless, uncompressed, PCM audio data) files in a folder entitled $PROJECT_data (e.g. if the project file is called "first_project", the sub-folder will be called "first_project_data").

The format appears to have gone through at least three iterations. The first is created by Audacity v1.1.x or earlier and is no longer supported - the official manual suggests exporting each track as a [[WAV]] file using the appropriate legacy version. The second is created by Audacity v1.2.x and can be opened by recent versions of Audacity, but if saved will no longer be openable by v1.2. Finally, the third version of the format is created by versions of Audacity from v1.3 to current.

Audacity 3.x introduced a new project format '''.AUP3''' [https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/updating_from_audacity_2.x_to_audacity_3.html Upgrading Audacity 2.x to 3.x]

==Format Information==
Audacity 2.x project files are stored in an [[XML]] format using the root tag <code>audacityproject</code>

:''For the filesystem, see [[Fossil]].''
:''For the set of networking protocols, see [[FOSSIL]].''

The [[Development#Revision control systems / code repositories|version control]] software Fossil stores the main body of information for a repository in a "'''repository database'''", a single [[SQLite]]-based file with the extension ".fossil"<ref>https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/tech_overview.wiki → 2.2 Repository Databases</ref>. Sometimes the file name extension fsl is used. This is unlike the more widely-used [[Git]] and [[Mercurial]], which store their repository information in a directory structure. Another large difference from these is that Fossil stores a wiki, forum, documentation, and bug tracking system<ref><code>man fossil</code> in Debian 11</ref> inside the repository itself.

The application ID for a Fossil repository database is 252006673.

The '''Resource Interchange File Format''' ('''RIFF'''), alternatively "'''Reverse [[IFF]]'''", is a wrapper or container format, originally developed by Microsoft and IBM. Formats based on the RIFF container include the widely used [[WAV]] (audio) and [[AVI]] (video) formats.

It is similar to [[IFF]]. One difference is that RIFF uses little-endian [[Endianness|byte order]].

See also [[RIFX]].

== Identification ==
RIFF files begin with the ASCII characters "<code>RIFF</code>".

== RIFF type cross-reference ==
Selected "RIFF types", and related articles, are listed below. The RIFF type (also called "form type" or "RIFF form") is a [[FourCC|four-byte identifier]] that usually appears at file offset 8. See also [[:Category:RIFF based file formats]].

In 1996 Adaptec purchased [[CDL|Corel CD Creator]] and it was combined with Easy-CD Pro to form Easy CD Creator<ref>https://cdrfaq.org/faq06.html#S6-1-2</ref>. CD Creator software allowed the user to create a Data or Audio CD layout by adding files or music in order to burn a disc. This layout could be saved for later use. The layout only referenced the file location and not the files themselves. It appears most versions were not backwards compatible with the saved "layout" file<ref>https://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/122116-recovery-of-cl3-files-made-by-easy-cd-creator-35/</ref>.

==File Identification==

CL2-CL4 files are based on the [[Microsoft Compound File]] format<ref>https://github.com/digipres/digipres.github.io/blob/master/_sources/registries/trid/triddefs_xml/cl4.trid.xml</ref>. All have similar internal structure.

Starting is CL4, Jewel Case/Label art is created in a separate application and saved as [[JWL]] files. Therefore files created in CL2 & CL3 cannot be opened in CL4.

CIF files are based on the [[RIFF]] format with type <code>imag</code><ref>http://mark0.net/download/triddefs_xml.7z → i → img-cif.trid.xml</ref> and contain an [[ISO_9660|ISO 9660]] filesystem image.

'''IPT''' (Autodesk Inventor part) is one of the native file formats of Autodesk Inventor, along with [[IAM]] (Autodesk Inventor assembly), [[IDW]] (Autodesk Inventor drawing), and [[IPN]] (Autodesk Inventor presentation). Assemblies consist of arrangements of parts.

Autodesk Inventor has a new major version every year, and it's documented that the assembly file format changes and requires updates to read newer files; it's not clear whether the part files are similarly incompatible from year to year.

== File format ==
IPT format is based on the [[Microsoft Compound File|"OLE2" document container format]]. The IPT files contain a file within the OLE container called "RSeDb".
Furthermore the file contains sub directories with names RSeStorage, RSeEmbeddings an RefdFiles.

Joergj: add Family Tree Maker to CLSID table

{{FormatInfo

:''"OLE" redirects here. See also [[OLE 1.0 object]].''

'''Microsoft Compound File''' is a complex container format used by some versions of [[Microsoft Office]], and other Windows-centric applications. It has features similar to those of a [[filesystem]] format.

Its name has many variations, including:
* '''Compound File Binary File Format''' ('''CFBF''' or '''CFB''')
* '''Microsoft Compound Document File Format'''
* '''OLE Compound Document Format'''
* '''OLE2 Compound Document Format'''
* '''Composite Document File'''
* '''DocFile'''

The format was not publicly documented by Microsoft until 2008.

It is (or was?) unofficially known as ''LAOLA File Format''.

== Identification ==
Files begin with signature bytes {{magic|D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1}}.

Identifying the specific document type can be difficult. Some, but not all, document types can be identified by the [[CLSID]] field in the "root storage" directory entry. This field is usually located at file offset 512×(1 + {the 32-bit integer at offset 48}) + 80.

Some files have a stream named "<code><U+0005>SummaryInformation</code>" containing metadata, which may include information about the creating application.

=== Root storage object CLSIDs ===
The table below lists some of the root storage object CLSIDs that have been observed in this type of file. Use this information at your own risk, as these identifiers can be unreliable.

Microsoft's documentation says this about the CLSID field:

<blockquote>This field contains an object class GUID. [...] If not [all zeroes], the object class GUID can be used as a parameter to start applications.</blockquote>

Although every ''storage object'' (think ''subdirectory'') can have a CLSID, this table is only concerned with the file's ''root'' storage object.

Note that the CLSIDs are stored as [[GUID]]s in little-endian binary format, so they have a strange byte order.

Audacity Project Format

Joergj: add application id for SQLite

|wikidata={{wikidata|Q27959830}}
}}

== Description ==

The Audacity Project Format is used by Audacity to store all the data related to an Audacity project - tracks, clips, envelope points, etc. As well as the '''.aup''' file, Audacity also stores a number of '''.au''' (lossless, uncompressed, PCM audio data) files in a folder entitled $PROJECT_data (e.g. if the project file is called "first_project", the sub-folder will be called "first_project_data").

The format appears to have gone through at least three iterations. The first is created by Audacity v1.1.x or earlier and is no longer supported - the official manual suggests exporting each track as a [[WAV]] file using the appropriate legacy version. The second is created by Audacity v1.2.x and can be opened by recent versions of Audacity, but if saved will no longer be openable by v1.2. Finally, the third version of the format is created by versions of Audacity from v1.3 to current.

Audacity 3.x introduced a new project format '''.AUP3''' [https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/updating_from_audacity_2.x_to_audacity_3.html Upgrading Audacity 2.x to 3.x]

==Format Information==
Audacity 2.x project files are stored in an [[XML]] format using the root tag <code>audacityproject</code>

Audacity 3.x project files are based on an [[SQLite]] database.The application ID stored in the database header at offset 68 is <code>AUDY</code> string or <code>41554459</code> hexadecimal.<ref>{{PRONOM|fmt/1826}}</ref>

MS-DOS date/time

Joergj: Zoo format also use that time stamps

{{FormatInfo
|formattype=electronic
|subcat=Elements of File Formats
|released=1981
}}
'''MS-DOS date''' and '''MS-DOS time''' are data formats associated with [[MS-DOS]]. They are used in some file formats from the MS-DOS era.

Each is a 16-bit integer of packed '''bit-fields''', not simple day or second counts since an origin (see spec below for exact bit field descriptions).

'''MS-DOS date''' represents a day in the range 1980 to 2099 (or maybe 2107, but dates after 2099 aren't always correctly handled).

'''MS-DOS time''' represents a 2-second interval within some day. The time is usually expected to be in "local time", and there is no indication of the time zone. This makes it fairly useless in the internet age.

Microsoft Compound File

2023-04-13T16:23:51Z

Joergj: added CorelCAD Drawing to CLSID table

{{FormatInfo
|formattype=electronic
|subcat=Metaformats

:''"OLE" redirects here. See also [[OLE 1.0 object]].''

'''Microsoft Compound File''' is a complex container format used by some versions of [[Microsoft Office]], and other Windows-centric applications. It has features similar to those of a [[filesystem]] format.

Its name has many variations, including:
* '''Compound File Binary File Format''' ('''CFBF''' or '''CFB''')
* '''Microsoft Compound Document File Format'''
* '''OLE Compound Document Format'''
* '''OLE2 Compound Document Format'''
* '''Composite Document File'''
* '''DocFile'''

The format was not publicly documented by Microsoft until 2008.

It is (or was?) unofficially known as ''LAOLA File Format''.

== Identification ==
Files begin with signature bytes {{magic|D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1}}.

Identifying the specific document type can be difficult. Some, but not all, document types can be identified by the [[CLSID]] field in the "root storage" directory entry. This field is usually located at file offset 512×(1 + {the 32-bit integer at offset 48}) + 80.

Some files have a stream named "<code><U+0005>SummaryInformation</code>" containing metadata, which may include information about the creating application.

=== Root storage object CLSIDs ===
The table below lists some of the root storage object CLSIDs that have been observed in this type of file. Use this information at your own risk, as these identifiers can be unreliable.

Microsoft's documentation says this about the CLSID field:

<blockquote>This field contains an object class GUID. [...] If not [all zeroes], the object class GUID can be used as a parameter to start applications.</blockquote>

Although every ''storage object'' (think ''subdirectory'') can have a CLSID, this table is only concerned with the file's ''root'' storage object.

Note that the CLSIDs are stored as [[GUID]]s in little-endian binary format, so they have a strange byte order.
