'''TIFF''', formerly known as '''Tag(ged) Image File Format''', is an image format capable of storing multiple high quality images in a single file.

A TIFF image may be uncompressed or use a compression scheme internally. Two of the most widely used compression schemes in TIFF files are lossless, including [[LZW]] and, for bitonal images [[CCITT Group 4]], as used for facsimile transmission [fax]. JPEG baseline DCT-based lossy compression is also used.

Several subtypes and extensions of [[TIFF]] exist, including: [[TIFF/EP]], [[TIFF/IT]], [[DNG]], [[GeoTIFF]], and [[BigTIFF]]. Multi-image TIFFs may represent sequences of images (such as scanned pages of a document), image tiles, or different versions of the same image, for example Pyramid TIFFs that incorporate images at different resolutions (often tiled). Some software that can read and display a TIFF file may only open the primary image.

{{FormatInfo
|formattype=electronic

}}

File systems and other file formats described on this page's parent page describe entities that exist on disks as they would normally used.

However, there are also file formats that allow a physical disk to be "imaged" into a file, either to re-copied onto a physical disk later, or else used by an *emulator* of the computer system that would have originally.

These file formats represent a data image of one of the physical floppy disk formats. In addition to the raw data from the disk, these formats may contain metadata that the corresponding emulator environment uses to correctly access the data.

Typically, when archiving a physical disk for later use, a physical disk will be imaged into one of these file formats. Sub-pages of this page should contain information on the format itself as well as instructions on how to extract a physical disk into that disk image format, including information about what physical drives are required, what software to use and how and what OS that is run under.

See also [[ROM and memory images]] for images of memory, and [[Floppy disk]]s for the physical floppies.

=Introduction=
An OVF package consists of several files, placed in one directory. A one-file alternative is the OVA package, which is a [[TAR]] file with the OVF directory inside.

An OVF package always contains exactly one OVF descriptor (a file with extension .ovf). The OVF descriptor is an [[XML]] file which describes the packaged virtual machine; it contains the metadata for the OVF package, such as name, hardware requirements, references to the other files in the OVF package and human-readable descriptions. In addition to the OVF descriptor, the OVF package will typically contain one or more disk images, and optionally certificate files and other auxiliary files

'''Graphics Interchange Format''' ('''GIF''') was introduced by the CompuServe online service in 1987, intended to provide a consistent and compact format for graphics to be downloaded on that service. Since the specifications were openly released, the format gained wide use in graphics software and on online services and bulletin board systems (BBSs), not just CompuServe.

In 1994, it became widely known that the format was encumbered by the use of the patent-protected [[LZW]] compression technology, for which its owner, Unisys, was demanding licencing terms and royalties for certain sorts of uses. This made GIF a less-than-free format, spurring a desire on the part of some people for an unencumbered format, which led to the creation of the [[PNG]] format. However, it took several years for PNG to get widespread support in software, and in the meantime the World Wide Web experienced meteoric growth with GIF still used as the primary graphics format (alongside [[JPEG]]), though eventually PNG did become widespread on the Web as well. The patent in question expired in the US in 2003, and in other countries in 2004, so it is no longer an issue.

Unlike most other graphic formats, GIF supports multiple-frame animated graphics in addition to single-image graphics. These animated GIFs often turn up on the Web, though they are usually thought of as somewhat "retro" these days because they remind people of the excesses of the early wave of Web popularity when such tricks were common on pages on services such as GeoCities.

People argue a lot over whether to pronounce "GIF" with a hard or a soft G. Both pronunciations are acceptable to the Oxford American Dictionaries, which [http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/195430/gif-as-a-verb-is-dictionarys-word-of-the-year/ named it the word of the year] in 2012, in its supposed usage as a verb (which they don't seem to actually use in a sentence anywhere in their announcement).

:Ah, yes, that seems a bit wrong (unless they talk about some other, specific COM file). I wanted to add COM some time ago anyway (when I did EXE), but it somehow got lost due to my being busy recently. I just happened to notice it in the "recent changes" and fixed it. On some unrelated note, why can't we delete (or move/rename) any pages? There are a few now that are blanked because they were moved. Is delete/move only for administrators? --[[User:Darkstar|Darkstar]] ([[User talk:Darkstar|talk]]) 17:22, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
::"Move" exists in the pull-down menu to the right of "View history". I think "Delete" is reserved for admins, though. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 18:16, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
:: There seems not to exist such thing as compressed executable COM file, after an extensive search on the Google.

Note to self: find that old CDROM with CAF files - [[User:Maurice.de.rooij|Maurice.de.rooij]] ([[User talk:Maurice.de.rooij|talk]]) 11:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

== text needs verification, have sent vendor request for information ==

CompuRadio runs on MS-DOS and was developed in an advanced (unknown) version of QBASIC, and makes use of Terminate and Stay Resident executables for different tasks such as displaying the time and updating the playlist.

== Mime type ==

Is application/octet-stream the proper MIME type for it? That just means "generic binary". It's what lots of files get served as if the server doesn't know a more specific type for them. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 12:48, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
: I do not think there is a registered mime-type for this old proprietary file format. Since it is a binary file, this is the best option IMHO [[User:Maurice.de.rooij|Maurice.de.rooij]] ([[User talk:Maurice.de.rooij|talk]]) 12:57, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

=Introduction=
The Codisk Audio File format was used in the 1990's for high quality compressed and uncompressed audio by radio automation software "CompuRadio". Recording and playing the files required installation of an advanced audio card (of unknown origin).

CompuRadio runs on [[MS-DOS]] and was developed in an advanced (unknown) version of [[QBASIC]]. The software was created by the Belgian company Van Rompaey - Devaro bvba, which was renamed Futurex.

Codisk Audio File

=Introduction=
The Codisk Audio File format was used in the 1990's for high quality compressed and uncompressed audio by Codisk radio automation software "CompuRadio". Recording and playing the files required installation of an advanced audio card (of unknown origin). CompuRadio was developed in an advanced (unknown) version of [[QBASIC]], and makes use of [[TSR|Terminate and Stay Resident]] executables for different tasks such as displaying the time and updating the playlist.

'''Perl''' is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language.

Though Perl is not officially an acronym, there are various backronyms in use, such as: Practical Extraction and Reporting Language, and (more whimsicallly) Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister. Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. In the 1990s it became very popular for web scripting, though other languages have gained more popularity for this purpose lately.

The book ''Programming Perl'' by Larry Wall and Randal L. Schwartz (and other co-authors in later editions), ISBN 978-0-596-00492-7 or ISBN 978-1-4493-9890-3 for the e-book version, is regarded as the definitive reference for the language, and is usually referred to as "the camel book" because of the picture of a camel on the cover (in keeping with publisher O'Reilley's use of animals on its technical book covers).

Programs in Perl are usually stored in plain-text files, to be run by the Perl interpreter.

Perl 6 has been under development for years, with a number of differences from earlier versions of Perl which make programs incompatible both forward and reverse. This new version uses a virtual machine called "Parrot" with a language that is intermediate between Perl and native machine code.
