UHIC

Latest revision as of 14:21, 17 August 2021

UHIC is a special-purpose file compression utility for DOS. It compresses only certain types of BMP, TGA, and Sun Raster graphics files. It was developed by Uwe Herklotz.

[edit] Format details

(Based on educated guesswork.)

The first three bytes are the ASCII signature "UHI".

The fourth byte is a version number: 0x10 for v1.0, or 0x20 for v2.0.

The fifth byte is a code for the original file format, and compression level:

0 = Windows BMPv3
1 = Windows BMPv3, max compression
2 = Windows BMPv2
3 = Windows BMPv2, max compression
4 = Sun Raster
5 = Sun Raster, max compression
6 = TGA
7 = TGA, max compression
