What is this x file?

The X file extension is related to a very old program called Application Visualisation Software (AVS) that was sold by Stardent in early 90s. An *.x file is bitmap image crated in AVS. The AVS image format is pretty straightforward. It consists of an 8 byte header followed by a,r,g,b per pixel, ordered top to bottom, left to right. (a == alpha, r == red, g = reen, b == blue) Each colour/alpha component is 1 unsigned byte. The header simply consists of the width and height of the image, each as 4 byte unsigned integers. Note the format assumes a byte ordering as per SGI/Macintosh/Motorola processors, if reading an AVS image from a machine with the opposite byte ordering then the appropriate byte swapping is required.

What is this x file?

The X file extension is used to refer to compression algorithm data files used in the SuperDisk computer program. X files enable compression and reduced file size by replacing repetitive and redundant text data with a much smaller code. X files can be accessed and edited with the appropriate software.
