NuFX was an archiving format used for the Apple II series late in its history, created by Andy Nicholas as a student project at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The ShrinkIt program (also created by Nicholas) supported it. When NuFX-format data was placed into Binary II format for transfer, the file extension .bxy was used.
