File Format
Name AMOS AmBs
Ontology
Extension(s) .abs, .abk

AMOS AmBs format is a resource container format that combines zero or more "AMOS Banks" (memory, sprite, and/or icon banks) into a single file or data segment. The official name for this format, if it has one, is unknown.

It is typically used as part of AMOS BASIC tokenized file format, but may be stored in a file by itself.

Although AmBs is a very simple format, it is moderately difficult to parse. It requires determining the length of each Sprite/Icon Bank segment, which is not trivial.

Identification

AmBs data begins with the ASCII signature "AmBs".

Sample files

See also AMOS BASIC tokenized file#Sample files, for files that contain embedded AmBs files.
