[edit] Disambiguation

See PIC for more formats with that name.

Some file format lists include a format named Japan PIC or Japan Picture, with extension .jpc. Those are probably references to this format. As evidence, the DISPLAY program listed in the Software section calls this format "Japan PIC (.jpc)".

[edit] Identification

Files begin with ASCII "PIC". Note that this does not distinguish them from Psion PIC.
