Identification
More research needed.
IDArc interprets the first 8 bytes of a file as four 16-bit little-endian integers, adds them together, and identifies it as oPAQue if the low 16 bits of the sum equals 0xaaaa.
oPAQue files have been observed to start with a0 38 2d 27 26 8c b7 be, which is consistent with that algorithm (sums to 0x1aaaa).
But this website reports bc 47 ce 93 40 11 e5 bd, which does not quite work -- it sums to 0x1aaaf.
