View Ref-File15.11.3.2  What kinds of files can be displayed?                   TOS

The XAcc Extended name of the viewer should contain an entry of the 
form 'X.ext' for every supported file format, where 'ext' may be one 
of the following:

  X.ART      - Art-Director
  X.ASC      - ASCII
    Paragraphs end with carriage return, and lines may end
    with a linefeed.
  X.B&W      - Imagelab image
  X.BLK      - GFA bit-block
    There is a three-WORD header: width minus one, height
    minus one, planes.
  X.BMP      - OS/2 bitmap, MS-Windows bitmap
  X.CFN      - Calamus font
  X.CRG      - Calamus raster
  X.CTX      - Calamus text
  X.CVG      - Calamus vector
  X.DOC      - 1stWord document
  X.DOO      - Doodle Mono
  X.ESM      - Enhanced Simplex
  X.FNT      - GDOS font (and nothing else!)
  X.GEM      - GEM-metafile
  X.GIF      - GIF image
  X.GVW      - GEM-View internal format
    Used by GEM-View internally and should not be in this
    list! (Hi, Dieter!)
  //X.HEX    - Hex-Dump
    This is obsolete.  It is now called 'XDump'
  X.IFF      - IFF-file
    The .IFF format in general! This should be present if any
    IFF-filetypes are supported.
  X.IFF.ILBM - IFF InterLeavedBitMap
  X.IFF.type - Other IFF-filetypes
  X.IMC      - Signum!2 image
  X.IMG      - GEM-image, XIMG
  X.JPG      - JPEG image
  X.MAC      - MacPaint image
  X.NEO      - Neochrome image
  X.OUT      - The GEM 'OUT' file format
    SEE:  v_alpha_text
  X.PAC      - STAD image
  X.PC[123]  - Degas compressed Image
  X.PCX      - PC Paintbrush
  X.P[BGP]M  - Portable Bitmap
  X.PIC      - Screen-dump (current resolution)
  X.PI[123]  - Degas uncompressed image
  X.RLE      - MS-Windows bitmap
  X.RSC      - GEM Resource file
  X.RTF      - Rich Text Format
  X.SDO      - Signum!2 document
  X.SDK      - Signum!3 document
  X.SNP      - Becker Snap-shot
    This has a three-WORD header: width, height, planes.
  X.SP[CU]   - Spectrum 512 image
  X.SUN      - Sun raster file
  X.TGA      - Targa image
  X.TIF      - TIFF image
  X.TN[123Y] - Tiny image
  X.TXT      - ASCII
    Lines end with a carriage return and a linefeed.  It would
    be nice if a single linefeed (Unix) or a single CR (Macintosh)
    would also be accepted.
  X.XBM      - X-Bitmap file

  XDump      - Hex-dump
    This is not an extension, but means that the viewer is
    able to show files as hexadecimal dumps.

Note: [abc] means one of the characters 'a', 'b', or 'c' and not the 
string '[abc]'.

All other entries starting with 'X.' are reserved for future versions! 
If you would like to add other formats, please contact Peter Seitz. It 
would be wise if the entries are unique.

I recommend the support of X.IMG, X.GEM and X.OUT, as these are the 
standard formats for GEM data-exchanges!

It should be noted that the file formats listed here that an 
application supports could be a clue as to which file formats the 
application will accept using the Drag&Drop protocol.
