DIS format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Below is our analysis of the DIS files:

The file type with the extension 'DIS' covers different formats for different programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

20% of all DIS files use the Microsoft Compound File format, which is also called Compound File Binary File format (CFBF or CFB) or OLE2 Compound Document format. This Windows file format has features similar to those of a filesystem format with virtual files and subfolders. Compound files always start with the bytes ÐÏà¡±á (hex code D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1). The globally unique identifier of this file type is ad7ce4e0-c391-11ce-9c10-08002be52b53. Sections and streams in the file have names like Contents. The files are on average 73 KB in size and range from 26 KB to 410 KB. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. Files like these are about item.
15% of all DIS files start with the bytes %!PS-Adobe-1.0, which are crucial for this file format. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. The files are on average 45 KB in size and range from 9 KB to 130 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. %!PS-Adobe-1.0, %%DocumentFonts: none, %%EndComments, %%EndProlog, %%Page: 0 1, %%Pages: 1, /c {closepath} def, /l {lineto} def, /m {moveto} def, /s {stroke} def, gsave and translate. A common filename is ex1.dis or ex3.dis.

All the rest of the DIS files (65%) have different formats, frequently e.g. JC64dis project and Timestamp. Tagged as insave, dead, asap, text, rays, challenge or rayfile. Just click the "Choose your .dis file to view this image" button on this page to find out what your DIS file is.
