	MBM file format
		MBM file format has been designed as a modern bitmap.
		Areas in which there is a need to use a graphic format that is simple (easy to implement either by software or hardware) and does not affect original image quality.
		In the unlikely case you would like to support also that format in your software, you'll need to analyze file header to determine which routine should be used to read the file.

	Extended Log File Format
		The format is extensible, permitting a wider range of data to be captured.
		The common log file format is supported by the majority of analysis tools but the information about each server transaction is fixed.
		The log file format described permits customized logfiles to be recorded in a format readable by generic analysis tools.

	File format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Other file formats, however, are designed for storage of several different types of data: the GIF format supports storage of both still images and simple animations, and the QuickTime format can act as a container for many different types of multimedia.
		Many file formats, including some of the most well-known file formats, have a published specification document (often with a reference implementation) that describes exactly how the data is to be encoded, and which can be used to determine whether or not a particular program treats a particular file format correctly.
		Since files are seen by programs as streams of data, a method is required to determine the format of a particular file within the filesystem—an example of metadata.

	RSS (file format) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Before RSS several similar formats already existed for syndication, but none achieved widespread popularity or are still in common use today, as most were envisioned to work only with a single service.
		The format was possibly intended as a parody and only a few implementations were ever made.
		For example, the RSS 2.* branch was the first to support enclosures, making it the current leading choice for podcasting, and as of mid-2005 is the format supported for that use by iTunes and other podcasting software; however, an enclosure extension is now available for the RSS 1.* branch, mod_enclosure [4].

	Interchange File Format: Facts and details from Encyclopedia Topic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)

	Microsoft WAVE soundfile format
		The WAVE file format is a subset of Microsoft's RIFF specification for the storage of multimedia files.
		A WAVE file is often just a RIFF file with a single "WAVE" chunk which consists of two sub-chunks -- a "fmt " chunk specifying the data format and a "data" chunk containing the actual sample data.
		Although WAV files have been implemented, these files are very simple, and their developers typically use an older specification in constructing them.

	RP File Format - Efficient and secure file format for the Rapid Prototyping industry
		The RP file format is the backbone of the OpenRP Solution to the data exchange problem of the RP industry.
		At the time when the STL file format was created, proliferation of STL models was not considered an issue as it was considered impossible to extract the underlying NURBS model from its STL file.
		At the file level, the RP file is encrypted using the most advanced encryption algorithms.

	Standards and specs: The Interchange File Format (IFF)
		The file format survives because it does a good job of solving a number of the central and recurring problems which lead people to want a "file format" in the first place.
		While the IFF format might not be actively maintained, or in very widespread use, it offers a lot of insight into generic file format standards and issues that might come up in dealing with them.
		The IFF format is a binary file format.

	The MIDI File Format Spec (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		For a format 0 file, the tempo will be scattered through the track and the tempo map reader should ignore the intervening events; for a format 1 file, the tempo map must (starting in 0.04) be stored as the first track.
		First, a format 0 file is shown, with all information intermingled; then, a format 1 file is shown with all data separated into four tracks: one for tempo and time signature, and three for the notes.
		It should not be impossible to convert a MIDI File to or from an arbitrary internal representation on the fly as it is transmitted, but, as long as it is not too difficult, it is very desirable to use a generic method so that any file type could be accommodated.

	Internet Archive: Research Access
		The file must be self-contained: it must permit the aggregated objects to be identified and unpacked without the use of a companion index file.
		The format must be extensible to accommodate files retrieved via a variety of network protocols, including http, ftp, news, gopher, and mail.
		The file must be "stream able": it must be possible to concatenate multiple archive files in a data stream.

		In the Mascot generic format, MGF, each MS/MS dataset is a list of pairs of mass and intensity values, delimited by BEGIN IONS and END IONS statements.

		The file format for MS/MS does not include details of the precursor peptide m/z, so this information must be entered manually into the PRECURSOR and CHARGE form fields.

	Wave File Format - The Sonic Spot
		Since the Wave file format is native to Windows and therefor Intel processors, all data values are stored in Little-Endian (least significant byte first) order.
		The first 8 bytes in the file is a standard RIFF chunk header which has a chunk ID of "RIFF" and a chunk size equal to the file size minus the 8 bytes used by the header.
		If the format were to come after the data, all of the data and then the format would have to be streamed before playback could start correctly.

	[No title]
		This is the original name of the file being compressed, with any directory components removed, and, if the file being compressed is on a file system with case insensitive names, forced to lower case.
		When compressing or decompressing a file, gzip preserves the protection, ownership, and modification time attributes on the local file system, since there is no provision for representing protection attributes in the gzip file format itself.
		Since the file format includes a modification time, the gzip decompressor provides a command line switch that assigns the modification time from the file, rather than the local modification time of the compressed input, to the decompressed output.

	Thinking XML: The open office file format
		Discussion of precursors to XML file formats usually include comma-delimited file formats, which are very often used for import and export of spreadsheets and databases.
		Unfortunately, this file is a bit too cluttered with elements for casual viewing in a text editor, but you can extract the character data using many common XML tools, including XSLT, courtesy of the null style sheet (see Listing 2).
		Information on how OpenOffice uses XML, including the file formats, can be found at the XML project page which links to details and DTDs of the file formats, a discussion of the choices behind the package formats, and more.

	WAVE File Format
		The WAVE format is sort of a bastardized standard that was concocted by too many "cooks" who didn't properly coordinate the addition of "ingredients" to the "soup".
		For the Format Chunk, chunkSize may vary according to what "format" of WAVE file is specified (ie, depends upon the value of wFormatTag).
		Of course, as you've come to expect from the WAVE file format, it duplicates some of the information that can be found in the Cue and Playlist chunks, but fortunately, in a more sensible, consistent, better-documented way.

	WAVE File Format
		The WAVE file format is a subset of Microsoft's RIFF spec, which can include lots of different kinds of data.
		It was originally intended for multimedia files, but the spec is open enough to allow pretty much anything to be placed in such a file, and ignored by programs that read the format correctly.
		RIFF is a file format for storing many kinds of data, primarily multimedia data like audio and video.

		The format is native to 3D Studio Max, but ActorX for Maya can also export it.
