All about WFA Files
The WFA file type is primarily associated with WildTangent.
What is a WFA file?
WFA files mostly belong to WildTangent. WFA files are used by different systems for specific functions.
For example, one type is a WildTangent game archive used by Tumblebugs to store game assets and data.
Another type is created by WinFax Pro for backing up faxes. These files use a Microsoft Compound file format to package multiple data streams within a single file.
A further variant deals with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). In this case, the file may carry EDI-based workflow automation data or EDI X12 transactions. This usage supports automated business processes and data transfer through dedicated EDI software such as EDI Notepad.
