What is an RMC file?

RMC files mostly belong to Various applications. RMC files are not a single file type but rather a label used by several programs for files that serve very different functions.
For example, some RMC files use an Microsoft Compound structure to store macro commands (often called Retek Macro Command or Remedy Macro File). These contain predefined instruction sequences used for automation in systems such as Reflection for IBM i.
Other RMC files work as encrypted or redacted PDF containers. In these, the file secures PDF content and may be used in legal or sensitive document workflows, as seen with tools from Rechtsmanager or ReMarkable.
Another group of RMC files holds genealogical chart data. These files store family tree information for software like RootsMagic, sometimes termed RootsMagic Family Charts.
Some versions serve as a SQLite (SQL) database for chart data, as used by applications such as Lighthouse Charts.
A smaller category features RMC files that act as BitTorrent client metadata, for instance holding a client icon or related data for applications like uTorrent (uTorrent).
Key uses include:

Macro Commands – Built on Microsoft Compound formats.

Encrypted PDF Containers – Securing or redacting PDF content.

Genealogy Charts – Storing family tree data.

SQLite Databases – Managing structured chart data.

BitTorrent Metadata – Housing client icon or related information.

FilExt.com tip: Opening an RMC file requires knowing its origin. Check file properties or the context in which the file was created to decide whether to use a macro command viewer, a secure PDF tool, genealogy software, an SQLite browser, or a BitTorrent client.

RMC 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 deduced from the file extension and the signature. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the RMC files is as follows:

The RMC file extension is not found very often and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The file formats most commonly found in RMC files are:

• 30% of all RMC files start with the magic bytes RMC, which are always the first bytes of this file format. They consist of unreadable binary data. A typical file size is 170 KB. This file type is new and state-of-the-art. The keywords S3J5cHQ are typical for these files. These files are attributed to schreiben, mandant, amtsgericht, instanz, kostenrechnung and hornbostel, and have often person-related content.
• 15% of all RMC files use the Microsoft Compound File format, known also as OLE2 Compound Document format or Composite Document File format. This general-purpose file format provides a file-system-like structure within a file for the storage of arbitrary, application-specific streams of data. The file signature of compound files is defined as D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1, so the first character of a file looks like "DOCFILE". The globally unique identifier of this file type is bfefec90-9aa1-11ce-a640-02608c8f68f1. The file contains several sections with names like Command0, Command1, Command2, Command3, Command4, Command5, Command6, Command7, Command8, Command10, Command11, Command9, Command12, Command13, Command14, Command15, Command16, Command17, Command18, Command19 and Command20. RMC files are between 6 KB and 73 KB in size.

The remaining 55% of all RMC files are different files with different signatures, the following 5 formats exist: SQL and CODEditProperties. Tagged as chart, lighthouse, torrent or rmchart. If you want to find out what your RMC file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
