List of RISC OS filetypes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This is a sub-article to RISC OS.
RISC OS filetypes use metadata to distinguish file formats. Some common file formats from other systems are mapped to filetypes by the MimeMap module.[1] Such mapping was previously handled by DosMap.[1]
The MimeMap module maps RISC OS filetypes to and from MIME content types, dotted filename extensions and Apple’s Uniform Type Identifiers.[2][3]
Requests for new filetype allocations for all RISC OS versions are handled centrally by RISC OS Open.[4]
RISC OS filetypes[edit]
Filetypes were originally classified by Acorn into distinct ranges:
User[edit]
This range of filetypes was intended for personal use in closed systems, not for general distribution. Nevertheless, many programs using these types were distributed, especially as Public-domain software. Consequently there are many clashes.
