		+	:I don't have a "wanted" list, if that's what you mean, and I'm not aware of a good list of such formats (and there are a ''lot'' of them). For DOS/Windows compressors and protectors, there's more items in the SAC and ANORMAL-DOSEXE collections. You can also find lists in the documentation of good decompressors like UNP. Searching TrID's definitions (as well as those of other format identification tools) is another way to find interesting formats. (LB: I'll look at it, but I don't think I'm interested.) -[[User:Jsummers\|Jsummers]] ([[User talk:Jsummers\|talk]]) 13:45, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

	What category do you think [[EDI]] belongs in? It's currently set to [[Transportation]], but that's the "planes, trains, and automobiles" category, not one for data transfer, so where does it actually fit? It's currently an "orphan page" not linked from any of the subsection pages in the hierarchy.

	:My thinking was that the ''format'' (v0.22 at least) isn't charactery enough. It just contains pixels, not characters, or reusable character definitions. The ''software'' is somewhere in the realm of character graphics, so I wouldn't object if it were listed in both sections, though I'm not sure I see the value. -[[User:Jsummers\|Jsummers]] ([[User talk:Jsummers\|talk]]) 03:07, 27 May 2021 (UTC)		:My thinking was that the ''format'' (v0.22 at least) isn't charactery enough.
