It is a [[MS-DOS EXE|DOS EXE]] file that, when executed, displays the graphics (or tries to).<br /> <br /> See [[ArtWorx Data Format]] for information about ArtWorx.<br /> <br /> == Discussion ==<br /> According to the change log, BinVU was introduced in ArtWorx v0.85 (though the generated files contain the string &quot;ArtWorx 0.80&quot;).<br /> <br /> The files do not seem to run correctly most of the time. It's not clear what the requirements are.<br /> <br /> No evidence found that BinVU has ever been used, beyond the ADF-INFO.EXE file included with ArtWorx.<br /> <br /> == Identification ==<br /> Files start with the bytes in the BINVU.DAT file included with ArtWorx. Only one version of this file is known.<br /> <br /> == Specifications ==<br /> The format could be learned about from the ArtWorx source code and the BINVU.DAT file.<br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> * ArtWorx: Refer to [[ArtWorx Data Format#Software]] for links to ArtWorx v0.85+.<br /> <br /> == Sample files ==<br /> * {{CdTextfiles|darkdomain/programs/dos/editors/artx091a.zip|artx091a.zip}} → ADF-INFO.EXE<br /> <br /> [[Category:Executable envelopes]]</div>
