| ISO/IEC 8632 provides a file format suitable for the storage and retrieval of picture description information. The file format consists of an ordered set of elements that may be used to describe pictures in a way that is compatible between systems of different architectures, compatible with devices of differing capabilities and design, and meaningful to application constituencies. This picture description includes the capability for describing static images. The metafile is defined in such a way that, in addition to sequential access to the whole metafile, random access to individual pictures and individual context-independent application structures is well-defined. This format is used by many different CAD programs. Recommended: Find CGM errors now. |

System Info for File Extension .CGM
FILExt has been given permission to display the file extension database produced
by the Associate
This! program. Some of that data has already been included into the main
FILExt database; but, not all. Those entries which have not yet been incorporated
are shown below in the hope that they will be of some use. Data
collected by FILExt on registered file extensions from user systems is
also in the display. Be aware this is raw data which may require further research
on your part to fully understand. In particular, look at the Program ID. Often
a company will put the program's name into the short ID that Windows uses to
open registered file extensions. If that's not the case, look at the complete
path to the EXE file. Often, programs will install themselves into directories
that give either the program or company name. The program name itself may also
be used as the EXE file name. These listings are particularly important since
they represent listings that are in actual use by users who have sumbitted
data to FILExt and therefore these listings can point you to the most likely
candidate should there be multiple entries in the FILExt main database.

Program Name and MIME Type Info for File Extension .CGM
FILExt has been given permission to display a Program Name/MIME type database collected

main FILExt database; but, not all. Those entries which have not yet been incorporated
are shown below in the hope that they will be of some use. Be aware this is
raw data which may require further research on your part to fully understand.
MIME type listings often contain the name of a program or, at a minimum, a
type of file as the leading text in the MIME type.

General Info
- If the extension you are looking for is of the form .??_ the file is likely a compressed file and part of an install routine. When the install program runs it will expand the file and replace the underscore with the proper letter for the file type.
- If the file is sent as an audio file with any three-character extension it may be a dictation file where the extension is the dictator's initials; playable by BCB Voice Systems software (see ??? extension). The file could likewise be a dictation file in TrueSpeech format. Use Windows Sound Recorder and/or Media Player to play these back.
- If the extension you are looking for has a number at the end or is only a number and there were no results consider entering the same extension format using zero or one as some programs produce numbered split files but when the split can be extensive (e.g., .000-.999) only the first entry is in the database.
