Overview
Windows Metafile (WMF) is a graphics file format used mainly by old Microsoft Windows applications. It stores a list of commands which, when executed, generate an image.
Windows has drivers to support WMF, allowing applications to either write to a WMF file, or draw on the screen, using the same API.
The newer versions of the format are known as Enhanced Metafile (EMF) and Enhanced Metafile Format Plus Extensions (EMF+).
Some applications apparently use WMF files that are gzip-compressed, and have a file extension of .wmz or .emz.
