DrawPlus
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
Serif DrawPlus is a vector graphic program. DrawPlus X8 released in 2015 was the last version, replaced with the new Affinity software. DrawPlus saves its documents as .DPP (Drawing) , .DPX (Template) or .DPA (Animation) files (for Stopframe and Keyframe animation modes).[1] Drawplus X3 and above can also export into a Serif MetaFile (.SMF) format.[2][3]

File Identification
DrawPlus version 1, or Intro, file headers begin with "V{DrawPlus Picture V1 DP"
DrawPlus version 2 file headers begin with "V{DrawPlus Picture V2 DP"
DrawPlus version 3-X2 files are based on the "OLE2" document container format.
DrawPlus version X3 onward uses newer <SerifXML> file format.[4]
Serif skipped DrawPlus X7 and went straight from X6 to X8.[5]
