File Extension BIFF

File type: Archive of Resources

The BIFF file type is primarily associated with 'BioWare Infinity Engine' by BioWare Corp.. This is a simple archive format, used both to simplify organization of the files, as well as to group together entire areas. Some BIF files are grouped together because of common functionality; for instance, all the .DLG files are gathered together into a single BIF file in Planescape: Torment. Other BIF files, such as AR4800.BIF represent the entirety of an area's terrain (i.e. not its containers, actors, or items). The file is often indexed by .KEY file. The program WinBiff is a tool to extract data from these files. This file format is used by many different games. It usually comes with a .BIF file extension.

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open BIFF files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
