What is a MIS file?

MIS files mostly belong to Ghost Recon by Red Storm. A MIS file contains mission data used by video games such as Ghost Recon, Delta Force, Marble Blast, and Tribes. Such a mission is bundled with a game's installation package. It can also be downloaded as part of an update, a part, or a mod. While different games use missions saved in MIS files, data in such files are saved in different formats.

How can I open a MIS file?

You need a suitable software like Ghost Recon to open a MIS 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 MIS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a MIS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

MIS file format:

To view or edit MIS files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our examination of the MIS files comes to the following conclusion:

The MIS file type is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. However, the following two file formats are common:

30% of all MIS files have the same signature <STATION>. The contents of these files are easily readable with a text editor. A typical file size is 240 KB. The file type was created recently. The keywords DATEFORMAT, SENSOR, STATION and YYYYMMDD are typical for these files. The file name 0000000002_CHEITA_20180601.MIS or 0000000004_CIOBU_20180601.MIS is typical for these files.

9% of all MIS files have the same signature p edge . The contents of these files can even be read by a human. The average file size is 570 bytes with most files being between 570 bytes and 8 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: e 10 3, e 11 1 and e 12 1. An example of a file name is soc-karate.mis or ca-netscience.mis. Files like these are sometimes connected to social.
