  232. | * I think these are in the wrong place
  233. |
  234. | There are a total of 212 filetypes in this list - out of 4096 possible
  235. | But the list is far from complete - and I know that some clashes exist!
  236. |
  237. Historical Note
  238. Refering to an old copy of the User Guide, the original allocation was
  239. E00 to FFF reserved for acorn
  240. 800 to DFF allocated to software houses
  241.        A00 to AFF Acornsoft
  242.        800 to 80C BBC uniform titles (whatever they were)
  243. 000 to 7FF free for users!
  244.  
  245. Looking at the distribution, it can be seen that the filetypes DB0 to DBF where probably
  246. intended for databases (makes sense!). Due to the development of !Translatr, most foreign graphics files
  247. use filenames in the range 690 to 6A4 (may go further!).

  296. If anyone finds any other filetypes or DOS mappings to add to this list (including clashes!), I would be grateful if they could send me a copy (or just send it to The Datafile or post it on Arcade).
  297. I am interested in finding out the following filetypes, if they exist:
  298. PhotoCD (I have seen 001 used for this!)
  299. MPEG
  300. RTF files
