What is a FAL file?

FAL files mostly belong to Sublime by Sublime. FAL is the filename extension of bitmap header information files usually found alongside bitmap images saved in Q0 file format (RGB files). The FAL file is essentially a text file containing information about the graphics data stored in the 24-bit bitmap stored in a Q0 or RGB file. FAL filename extension is also associated with files containing geological fault geometrics created with Petrosys, a GIS software for mapping, surface modeling, and 3D data visualization. The source code of programs or scripts written in Falcon programming language are also stored in text-based FAL files that can be opened with a plain text editor.

How can I open a FAL file?

You need a suitable software like Sublime to open a FAL file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your FAL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FAL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
