TheDraw Save File

TheDraw Save File (.TD; also known as TheDraw format, TheDraw Data File, or TheDraw Setup Save) is a layered character graphics format native to TheDraw, a character graphics editor for MS-DOS. There is also a TheDraw Library (.TDL) format, which apparently stores multiple .TD files.

TD format was introduced in version 3.00. TDL format was introduced in version 4.60.

See ANSI Art for more about this style of character graphics.
