Adding another software entry

Effect2: Reclassifying as miscellaneous, because the "Forensics" in Forensics and Law Enforcement apparently means digital forensics, not actual forensics

'''ANSI 378''', alternatively '''ANSI/INCITS 378''' is a format that stores a description of the minutae (differentiating features) of fingerprints, for production from a fingerprint scan and use by a fingerprint matcher. It is produced by the American National Standards Institute, and the InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards, giving its name. There are three major versions:
* ANSI 378-2004; "[w]hen people mention ANSI 378 without specifying version, they usually refer to this original 2004 version."<ref name="templateshome">https://templates.machinezoo.com/</ref>
* ANSI 378-2009, similar but incompatible<ref name="templateshome" />
** ANSI 378-2009/AM1, a slight variation ("AM" is short for "amendment"<ref>https://templates.machinezoo.com/ansi378-2009am1</ref>)

== Identification ==
ANSI 378 files will begin with {{magic|46 4D 52 00}}, which is [[ASCII]] "FMR" followed by a zero byte<ref>https://templates.machinezoo.com/ansi378-2004#magic</ref>. Following this is the version identifier, which is {{magic|20 32 30 00}} (" 20" followed by a zero byte) for the 2004 version<ref>https://templates.machinezoo.com/ansi378-2004#version</ref>, {{magic|30 33 30 00}} ("030" then zero byte) for the 2009 version<ref>https://templates.machinezoo.com/ansi378-2009#version</ref>, and {{magic|30 33 35 00}} ("035", zero byte) for the 2009/AM1 version<ref>https://templates.machinezoo.com/ansi378-2009am1#version</ref>. The magic number and format of the 2004 version are the same as for the related but incompatible [[ISO 19794-2]]; <ref>https://templates.machinezoo.com/ansi378-2004#totalbytes</ref> gives an algorithm to tell them apart.
