What is a TNT file?

TNT files mostly belong to TNT (Tree analysis using New Technology). TNT files are used by different applications and hold distinct types of data. Their function depends on the software that created them.
  • Phylogenetic Data Matrix: These files store matrices used for evolutionary tree analysis. They are handled by TNT (Tree analysis using New Technology) and edited with TNTedit.
  • 3D Model / CAD Drawing: Created by TNTmips, these files contain 3D model information used in CAD drawings. More details are available on the TNTmips website.
  • Texture File: Some TNT files are used as texture resources, as seen in game development and in contexts like Neverwinter Nights resources.
  • Tiny Notation Training: In certain cases, TNT files serve as training files or hold compressed Targa image data, related to TntConnect.
  • Thermwood Terminal Session: These files manage configuration data for terminal sessions, used with applications such as Thermeon Terminal or Telethon Terminal Emulator (Micro Focus Reflection).
